This project aims to explore nonlinear optical phenomena occurring in hot, dense plasmas generated from gas targets using both laser-induced and discharge-produced methods. The research will contribute to fundamental understanding and advancement of plasma-light interaction in extreme conditions, relevant for application of high-resolution microscopy useful for metology, and plasma-based light sources generation. The project will combine literature reviews and simulation work, with a focus on optimizing plasma generation and emission characteristics from gas targets.
