Variation of laser absorption with plasma scalelength in long-scalelength plasmas. Memorandum report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5296378
A short-pulse, high-intensity Nd-laser beam interacts with preformed plasmas of variable scalelength. At the longest scalelength, absorption is limited by backscatter, despite increased collisional absorption.
