Doped He nanodroplets are widely used as inert, transparent, and cold matrix for spectroscopy of embedded molecules and clusters [1]. When exposed to strong laser fields, however, a few dopant atoms are sufficient to "ignite" avalanche-like ionization that turns the whole droplet into a strongly absorbing nanoplasma [2,3]. We present experiments and model calculations on the ignition and dynamics of rare gas-doped He nanodroplets illuminated by few-cycle laser pulses.
