Laser produced plasmas
- 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Laser Section
Description
Development at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre of high power lasers for plasma production and diagnostic techniques for these plasmas is reported. Two types of lasers namely Nd:glass and CO2 are discussed. When completed these are expected to deliver 100 Joules of energy in one nanosecond pulse. When focussed the power density at the focal point of the lens is of the order of 1014 - 1015 watts/cm2. The plasmas produced by such lasers last only for a few sophisticated diagnostic tools. Some of these are described and discussed. (author)
