Formation Mechanism of Dense High-Speed Plasma Flow in Tapered Capillary Discharge
High-speed plasma flows have attracted much interest for conducting laboratory astrophysics experiments [1]. The formation of dense, high-speed plasma is essential for those applications and the investigation of related plasma phenomena. Devices such as a laser [2], z-pinch [3], or arc channel [4] are conventionally used to drive the highspeed flow. However, dense, high-speed flow is difficult ...
متن کاملLaser Waveguides in Capillary Discharge Plasma
The article sums up contemporary experiments and results in the field of a femtosecond laser pulse waveguiding in capillary discharge plasma. The main principles are described and the most important examples of the works on the waveguiding and hybridly pumped soft x-ray lasers are mentioned. In general the future steps for creation of a new apparatus for hybridly pumped soft x-ray laser at FNSP...
متن کاملApplication of extremely compact capillary discharge soft x-ray lasers to dense plasma diagnostics
Table-top capillary discharge soft x-ray lasers combine the advantages of a small size and a high repetition rate with an extremely high brightness similar to that of their laboratory-size predecessors. When utilized to probe high density plasmas their short wavelength results in a higher critical density, reduced refraction, decreased free-electron absorption, and higher resolution as compared...
متن کاملCapillary discharge-driven metal vapor plasma waveguides.
We report the generation of dense plasma waveguides containing a large concentration of silver ions by means of a fast (approximately 55 ns first half-cycle) microcapillary discharge. Concave plasma density profiles with axial electron density > 1 x 10(19) cm(-3) were measured from discharge ablation of 330 or 440 microm diameter Ag2S capillaries with 3-5 kA peak amplitude current pulses. The d...
متن کاملHigh-power-density capillary discharge plasma columns for shorter wavelength discharge-pumped soft-x-ray lasers.
We report the generation of plasma columns in gas-filled capillary channels using discharge excitation powers that exceed those of previous studies by one to two orders of magnitude. Current pulses up to 200 kA and 10-90 % rise time of about 10 ns (current increase rate equivalent to 1.5 x 10(13) A/s) were utilized to excite plasmas in 3.3 and 4 mm diameter channels. Time resolved soft-x-ray sp...
