Description

The polarization dependence of the ion expansion from the front and rear of laser-irradiated thin-film targets is measured. The thermal ion component shows an increased asymmetry with incident p polarization compared with s-polarized radiation. This is attributed to reduced thermal conductivity. Various possible mechanisms for this effect are discussed
