Expansion dynamics of laser produced plasma

We consider the applicability of the isentropic, adiabatic gas dynamical model of plume expansion for laser ablation in vacuum. We show that the model can be applied to ionized plumes and estimate the upper electron temperature limit on the applicability of the isentropic approximation. The model predictions are compared with Langmuir ion probe measurements and deposition profiles obtained for ...

Intraocular pressure rise after argon laser trabeculoplasty.

Eighty-four eyes received 107 argon laser trabeculoplasty treatments at Beth Israel Medical Center between 1982 and 1984 for advanced primary and secondary glaucoma. The prelaser mean pressure was 20.25 mmHg. Pressures taken 1 1/2 hours postoperatively varied widely: the pressure rose after 47 treatments and fell or remained the same after 60. Significant increases in pressure occurred in 10 ey...

Laser-produced plasma-wall interaction

Jets of laser–generated plasma represent a flexible and well-defined model environment for investigation of plasma interactions with solid surfaces (walls). The pilot experiments carried out on the iodine laser system (5–200 J, 0.44 mm, 0.25–0.3 ns, ,1 10 W/cm) at the PALS Research Centre in Prague are reported. Modification of macroscopic characteristics of the Al plasma jets produced at laser...

Time-resolved measurement of copper emission spectrum excited by a low-pressure argon laser-induced plasma.

A laser-induced plasma generated with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser under evacuated conditions has complicated structures both temporally and spatially. The time-resolved spectra of copper in three different wavelength regions were observed in detail for elucidating the excitation mechanisms of many atomic/ionic copper emission lines. The emission intensities of copper emission lines, measured in a tim...
