Main Results:

  • Observed non-homogeneous ionization on subcycle scales.
  • Demonstrated electric field penetration into overdense plasma.
  • Identified formation of inhomogeneous charge density concentrated in the polarization plane.

Conclusions:

  • The extreme nonlinear Mie-optics regime exhibits unique ionization dynamics.
  • Field penetration and subsequent charge distribution are key phenomena.
  • A new ionization model depends on electric field amplitude, droplet radius, and plasma frequency.
