Polarization and angular dependence of 1.06-μm laser-light absorption by planar plasmas

  • 1. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, University of California, Livermore, California 94550

Description

An enclosing ''box'' calorimeter has been used to measure the polarization and angular dependence of 1.06-μm laser-light absorption under experimental conditions approximating those assumed by Estabrook, Valeo, and Kruer in their simulations; i.e., approx. 1016W/cm2 plane waves incident on a planar plasma. A clear resonance absorption maximum was observed for p- but not for s-polarized incident radiation as predicted
