Title: Optical Time-Resolved Diagnostics of Laser-Produced Plasmas

Abstract

Here we present the general challenges of diagnostics for laser-produced plasmas related to their small dimensions and short duration but also to the presence of very strong temperature and density gradient in the plasma. In particular, we focus on more detailed examples related to optical diagnostics for the undercritical region of the plasma: shadowgraphy, schlieren, interferometry, polarimetry.

Optical diagnostics of laser-produced plasmas

Journal Article Harilal, S. S. ; Phillips, M. C. ; Froula, D. H. ; ... - Reviews of Modern Physics

Laser-produced plasmas (LPPs) engulf exotic and complex conditions ranging in temperature, density, pressure, magnetic and electric fields, charge states, charged particle kinetics, and gas-phase reactions based on the irradiation conditions, target geometries, and background cover gas. The application potential of the LPP is so diverse that it generates considerable interest for both basic and applied research areas. The fundamental research on LPPs can be traced back to the early 1960s, immediately after the invention of the laser. In the 1970s, the laser was identified as a tool to pursue inertial confinement fusion, and since then several other technologies have emerged out of LPPs. These applications prompted the development and adaptation of innovative diagnostic tools for understanding the fundamental nature and spatiotemporal properties of these complex systems. Although most of the traditional characterization techniques developed for other plasma sources can be used to characterize the LPPs, care must be taken to interpret the results because of their small size, transient nature, and inhomogeneities. The existence of the large spatiotemporal density and temperature gradients often necessitates nonuniform weighted averaging over distance and time. Among the various plasma characterization tools, optical-based diagnostic tools play a key role in the accurate measurements of LPP parameters. The optical toolbox contains optical spectroscopy (emission, absorption, and fluorescence), as well as passive and active imaging and optical probing methods (shadowgraphy, Schlieren imaging, interferometry, Thomson scattering, deflectometry, and velocimetry). Each technique is useful for measuring a specific property, and its use is limited to a certain time span during the LPP evolution because of the sensitivity issues related to the selected measuring tool. Therefore, multiple diagnostic tools are essential for a comprehensive insight into the entire plasma behavior. Recent improvements in performance in laser and detector systems have expanded the capability of the aforementioned passive and active diagnostic tools. Here, this review provides an overview of optical diagnostic tools frequently employed for the characterization of the LPPs and emphasizes techniques, associated assumptions, and challenges. Considering that most of the industrial and other applications of the LPP belong to low to moderate laser intensities (more »« less

A Refractive INdex Gradient (RING) diagnostic for transient discharges or expansions of vapor or plasmas

Conference Cuneo, M E ; Lockner, T R ; Tisone, G S ; ...

The use of lasers to measure plasma properties is well known. Common methods include interferometry (density), Schlieren (gradient of density), and shadowgraphy (derivative of gradient). The diagnostic described in this paper uses a fast silicon photodiode quadrant detector with a differential amplifier to temporally detect the refraction of a CW laser by transient discharges or expansions of vapor, gas or plasma. The laser beam is refracted by the gradient of the total index of refraction due to neutral and ionized atoms (positive index) and electrons (negative index) in those discharges. The output of the circuit is a voltage proportional tomore »« less
Application of Gaseous Laser Targets and Optical Diagnostics to Study High Mach Number Unstable Plasma Flows

Technical Report Edwards, J ; MacKinnon, A ; Robey, H

The information that can be obtained from current laser driven high Mach number (compressible) hydrodynamics experiments using solid targets and foams is limited by the need to use X-ray diagnostics. These do well at providing the shape of gross 2D structures which we model well, but are a long way from being able to reveal detailed information at the smaller spatial scales, or in 3D turbulent flows, where most of the modeling uncertainties exist. Remedying this is, and will continue to be, an ongoing research effort. An alternative approach that is not being considered is to use gaseous targets coupledmore »« less

Pulsed nitrogen laser for optical plasma diagnostics. Memorandum report

Technical Report DeSilva, A W ; Sethian, J D

A nitrogen laser oscillator-amplifier system has been constructed for use as a fast pulsed light source for Schlieren, shadowgraph, Moire Schlieren, or interferometric diagnostics of pulsed plasmas. It utilizes an atmospheric pressure nitrogen laser as an oscillator and a low pressure transverse discharge as an amplifier. The output beam has a rectangular cross section with dimensions 5mm {times} 15mm, a pulse length of about 1 nsec, and is of sufficient optical quality that it may be used for interferometry. The beam energy is about 1 mJoule per pulse.
Optical diagnostic system for observation of laser-produced shock waves

Conference Wilke, M D ; Stone, S N - SPIE Semin. Proc.; (United States)

Several standard plasma and gas dynamic diagnostic techniques have been integrated into a system for observing the formation and propagation of high-power Nd:glass-laser generated one- and two-dmensional shockwaves in air from 0.1 torr to atmospheric pressures. Diagnostics include either single-frame, two-wavelength holographic ruby-laser interferometry or single-frame, single-wavelength interferometry with ten frames of shadowgraphy. Streaks or ten frames of the early luminous shocked region also are taken on all shots, as well as time-resolved luminosity measurements using high-speed biplanar vacuum photodiodes with various wavelength interference filters. Shadowgraphy frames are 200-ns long at 1-..mu..s intervals, while emission frames are variable with amore »« less
