Abstract
Conference Title: 2021 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) Conference Start Date: 2021, May 9 Conference End Date: 2021, May 14 Conference Location: San Jose, CA, USAUltrafast dynamics of ultrafast single pulse induced micro-explosions in bulk fused silica was captured using.time resolved shadowgraphy. Experimental and theoretical considerations identify such micro-explosions creating warm dense matter (WDM) states.
