Long-pulse laser-plasma interactions at 1012--1015 W/cm2
- 1. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D. C. 20375
Description
Laser-plasma interaction physics including absorption, plasma formation, heating, plasma expansion, and energy transport, are examined for 3-nsec Nd-laser irradiances between 1012 and 1015 W/cm2. Efficient energy deposition and conditions favorable to ablative acceleration are found at 1012--1013 W/cm2, whereas reduced absorption, hot electrons, and fast ions are seen at 7 x 1014 W/cm2. Suitability of the observed physics to pellet fusion is discussed
