Plasma production from ultraviolet-transmitting targets using subpicosecond ultraviolet radiation.
Plasma produced from ultraviolet-transmitting solid targets undergoing intense (>10(16) W/cm(2)) subpicosecond (~600 fs) ultraviolet (248 nm) irradiation have been studied under conditions for which no interfering prepulse plasma is generated. Time and spatially integrated measurements of the x-ray emission for H-like and He-like Mg and Si were found to be consistent with LASNEX calculations that model the laser-target interaction.
