title: Strongly coupled regime of ionization-induced scattering in ultrashort laser-matter interactions.
abstract: The ionization-induced scattering of an ultrashort laser pulse is investigated by means of direct modeling of the Maxwell equations. Our results reveal a strongly coupled regime of ionization-induced scattering where structural and temporal characteristics of the laser-matter interactions may change significantly. In this regime, small-scaled plasma inhomogeneities are effectively generated with high plasma densities, even exceeding the critical one.
