Description

The extreme ultraviolet emission characteristics of laser-produced lithium plasma are experimentally and theoretically investigated. Taking into account the target oxidation, the ion fractional populations are analyzed and the averaged plasma parameters are obtained. Theoretical results show an insignificant influence of oxygen on the temperature dependence of the lithium ion fractional number. A comparison between the theoretical spectrum for stationary and homogenous plasma and experiments shows a reasonable agreement
