Self-Focusing in Underdense Ultraviolet Laser-Produced Plasmas

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Ultraviolet laser-matter interaction processes are of considerable interest to laser fusion. Among these processes, filamentation (or self-focusing) is of particular importance, since it could prevent attainment of the illumination uniformity required for high target compression. In addition self-focusing may complicate the interpretation of target interaction experiments. For our experimental conditions we expect thermal self- focusing to be dominant over ponderomotive self-focusing, at least in the formation stages.
