Abstract:

This paper analyzes the published experimental data on the interaction of circularly polarized ultrashort-pulse laser radiation with condensed media. An explanation is proposed for the features of the subwavelength ordered breakdown of media with substantially different physical properties, based on the universal polariton model.

Keywords:

surface plasmon–polaritons, interaction, condensed media, ultrashort pulses, circular polarization, universal polariton model
