Absorption and x-ray measurements from ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions

OSTI ID:10173682
The interaction of subpicosecond 1.06 mm laser light at intensities up to 10{sup 18} W/cm{sup 2} with dense performed plasmas is investigated by measurements of the absorption of the laser light in the plasma and by measurements of the production of bremsstrahlung x-rays. Absorption measurements are made by collecting the scattered light in an Ulbricht sphere. Light scattered in the backward and specular directions is collected separately. Measurements are presented for both high and low Z targets. X-ray production is measured using a nine channel filter/scintillator spectrometer.
