The temporal evolution of the electric field generated near the surface of a solid target by a femtosecond laser pulse with intensity of 1 × 1016 W/cm2 has been investigated by electron deflectometry; in this technique, ultrashort electron pulses generated by intense femtosecond laser pulses are used as probes. We found that electric field of the order of 108 V/m along the target surface was generated and decayed within 400 fs. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of electron deflectometry for measuring ultrafast phenomena in the femtosecond time domain.
