Simulation of the interaction of single-pulsed optical lasers with targets in a vacuum

Creators

Description

We present computer simulations of the interaction of a perturbed laser beam on an aluminum target at pulse widths from .05 to 2.0 μsec, and intensities from 5 x 107 to 1013 W/cm2, at laser wavelengths varying from 0.25 μm (KrF laser) to 10.6 μm (CO2 laser). We focus on impulse coupling, identify the critical processes for momentum generation, and discuss the uncertainties in modeling
