Scattered light measurements from disk targets irradiated with laser wavelengths at 1.06, 0.53, and 0.35 µm

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Argus wavelength scaling experiments have been performed on low (Be) and high (Au) Z disk targets with laser wavelengths of 1.06, 0.53, and 0.35 µm. The laser provided a 700-psec pulse with up to 100 J at 1.06 µm, 200 J at 0.53 µm, and 40 J at 0.35 µm. Laser intensities on target ranged from 3×1013 to over 3×1015 W/cm2, using an f/2.2 focusing system. One goal of the experiments was to measure the levels of the parametric instabilities which generate suprathermal electrons as a function of both laser wavelength and intensity.
