Description
The intensity dependent deflection of a laser beam traversing an exploding foil plasma is measured for the first time. An incident f/8 probe beam exhibits deflection of up to 6 degree and angular spreading of as much as a 17 degree cone angle (f/3.3) as it exits a preformed plasma with significant plasma flow. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
