When charged particles interact with laser fields, they are usually thought to be pushed out from the regions of higher intensity via mechanism known as ponderomotive force (PMF). In contrast existing theories, we show that there exist several regimes in which drawn into strongly focused fields. We derive a simple, covariant, and relativistically correct expression for holds arbitrary strength field focusing all particle velocities. predict three new, best our knowledge, physical effects:...
Strong-field few-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses are an invaluable tool for engineering highly nonequilibrium states of matter.

Abstract Resonant optical antennas supporting plasmon polaritons (SPPs)—collective excitations of electrons coupled to electromagnetic fields in a medium—are relevant sensing, photovoltaics, and light‐emitting devices, among others. Due the SPP dispersion, conventional antenna fixed geometry, exhibiting narrow resonance, cannot simultaneously operate two different spectral bands. In contrast, here it is demonstrated that metallic disks, separated by nanometric spacer, hybridized antibonding...
