Plume splitting and sharpening in laser-produced aluminium plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plume splitting and sharpening were observed in laser-produced aluminium plasma created using 532 nm, 8 ns pulses from a frequency doubled Nd : YAG laser. Measurements were made using 2 ns gated fast photography as well as space and time resolved optical emission spectroscopy. The motion of the leading edge of the plume was studied with several background air pressures and the expansion of the plume front was compared with various expansion models. Combining imaging together with time resolved emission diagnostics, a triple structure of the plume was observed.

Influence of spot size on propagation dynamics of laser-produced tin plasma
The plume dynamics in the presence of an ambient gas is very intriguing physics. The expansion of a laser-produced plasma in the presence of an ambient gas leads to internal plume structures, plume splitting, sharpening, confinement, etc. We investigated propagation dynamics of an expanding tin plume for various spot sizes using a fast visible plume imaging and Faraday cup diagnostic tools. Our...

Experiments have been carried out to characterize furlher the properties of a new laser-ablation-assisted-plasma-discharge source of metallic aluminium ions. Laser ablation is accomplished by focusing a KrF excimer laser (e 1.2 J, 40 ns, 248 nm) onto a solid aluminium target with a fluence of approximately 10 J m i 2 . Through gated optical emission spectroscopy, the laser ablation plume optica...
