Abstract
Second harmonic emission produced by the interaction of a 130 fs laser pulse with solid aluminum has been spectrally analyzed. For an angle of incidence near 20°, the specular second harmonic is blue shifted when the laser intensity exceeds 1 × 1017 W/cm2. This effect is also observed in PIC simulations of the experiment. Several absorption mechanisms are examined for their consistency with the data.
