Abstract
The Los Alamos multikilojoule KrF laser system (Aurora) has a requirement for large area foils (up to 1 × 2M) which will survive in a fluorine and e-beam environment for ~1000 shots. Although foil selection involves consideration of a wide variety of factors such as availability, thickness uniformity, reflectivity, chemical compatibility, Z-number, density, thermal characteristics, and metallurgical properties, the emphasis of this study has been directed at investigating foil properties of a chemical nature.
