Snapshots of the electric field amplitude from FDTD simulations for focused laser beams traveling in the +z direction. The x component of the electric field on the xz plane is plotted linearly in grayscale at 4.975 fs intervals from left to right. The maximum brightness corresponds to 1.059 × 105 V/m.
