摘要
In order to investigate the ultrafast dynamics of free carriers generated in bulk dielectrics by intense femtosecond laser pulses we have designed a setup for ultrafast time-resolved imaging Mach-Zehnder interferometry. The application of the 2D-Fourier-transform technique allows us to accurately reconstruct the actual laser-induced phase shifts and transmission changes for the probe pulses, which provide the properties of free carriers. Interferometric measurements in high-purity fused silica clearly demonstrate that the dominant ionization mechanism for intensities below 10 TW/cm(2) is multiphoton ionization.
