Observation of parametric instabilities in the quarter critical density region driven by the Nike KrF laser

Journal Article Weaver, J. L. ; Kehne, D. ; Brown, C. M. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The krypton-fluoride (KrF) laser is an attractive choice for inertial confinement fusion due to its combination of short wavelength ({lambda}=248 nm), large bandwidth (up to 3 THz), and superior beam smoothing by induced spatial incoherence. These qualities improve the overall hydrodynamics of directly driven pellet implosions and should allow use of increased laser intensity due to higher thresholds for laser plasma instabilities when compared to frequency tripled Nd:glass lasers ({lambda}=351 nm). Here, we report the first observations of the two-plasmon decay instability using a KrF laser. The experiments utilized the Nike laser facility to irradiate solid plastic planar targets overmore »« less

Limitation to the accuracy of interferometrically measured electron density profiles of laser-produced plasmas

Journal Article Burgess, M D.J. ; Gillman, G B ; Luther-Davies, B - J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)

Using a double pulse ultraviolet holographic interferometer we have investigated the effects of interferometer focusing accuracy on the measured density profiles in an experimental study of plasmas generated by 20-ps duration Neodymium laser pulses on carbon fiber targets. We have found that in accordance with predictions made previously using computer models the critical density region can only be measured accurately in very small spherical plasmas when the interferometer focusing error is less than about 5 ..mu..m.

Electron Temperature Measurements of Solid Density Plasmas Produced by Intense Ultrashort Laser Pulses

Journal Article Guethlein, G ; Foord, M E ; Price, D - Physical Review Letters

We report the first spatially and temporally localized measurements of 500 eV electron temperatures in solid density Al plasmas generated by a 3{times}10{sup 17} W/cm{sup 2}, 170 fs laser. Expansion velocities of marker layers from various depths are sampled with mass-resolved ion time-of-flight spectroscopy. Hydrodynamic simulations relate the measured velocities to the sound speed, determining the temperature along the central axis of the plasma. Results are consistent with conductive heating of the first 1000 A. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}

Electron temperature and density measurements in laser-produced large-scale-length gas-bag plasmas by x-ray spectroscopy

Journal Article Glenzer, S H ; Back, C A ; Estabrook, K G ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics

We present temporally and spatially resolved measurements of the K-shell emission from argon and chlorine dopants in laser-produced mm-size gas-bag plasmas. Particularly useful for the diagnostics of these plasmas are the line intensity ratios of the He- and H-like resonance lines to their respective Li- and He-like dielectronic satellite transitions. By Abel inverting the experimental spectra and applying time-dependent collisional-radiative modeling, local electron temperatures, and densities are deduced. About 0.4 ns after the beginning of the laser heating, we observe a homogeneous plasma center which heats steadily until the end of the heating pulse. Although the heating is slower thanmore »« less

A method to measure the electron temperature and density of a laser-produced plasma by Raman scattering

Journal Article Jang, H ; APRI and School of Photon Science and Technology, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Gwangju 500-712 ; Hur, M S ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

A method is proposed to investigate the electron temperature and density of a laser-produced plasma simultaneously, using the temperature dependence difference of the Raman forward scattering (RFS) and backward scattering (RBS). Density and temperature dependence of spectra from the RBS and the RFS in a laser produced plasma were investigated by one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations in the nonrelativistic regime. This technique has a great advantage as a simple diagnostic of plasma characteristics in the sense that it can be performed only with the pump laser, without any additional probe laser.
