Lithium Plasma Produced by Laser Giant Pulse

Solitary Nanostructures Produced by Ultrashort Laser Pulse.

Laser-produced surface nanostructures show considerable promise for many applications while fundamental questions concerning the corresponding mechanisms of structuring are still debated. Here, we present a simple physical model describing those mechanisms happened in a thin metal film on dielectric substrate irradiated by a tightly focused ultrashort laser pulse. The main ingredients included ...

Observation of laser satellites in a plasma produced by a femtosecond laser pulse

Short-pulse laser-produced plasmas

In this review, the physics of short-pulse laser-produced plasmas at moderate intensities is described, together with applications to x-ray sources and material processing.

Quasi-steady-state air plasma channel produced by a femtosecond laser pulse sequence

A long air plasma channel can be formed by filamentation of intense femtosecond laser pulses. However, the lifetime of the plasma channel produced by a single femtosecond laser pulse is too short (only a few nanoseconds) for many potential applications based on the conductivity of the plasma channel. Therefore, prolonging the lifetime of the plasma channel is one of the key challenges in the re...

Characterization of Expanding Laser Plasma Produced by Laser Ablation

This work is devoted to characterizing the plasma produced by nanosecond laser ablation. The expanding plasma was generated by the interaction of a home made XeCl excimer laser with a Cu target. The time-of-flight method was utilized as diagnostic tool of the plasma charged particles. By this method, in fact, we were able to measure the ion and electron currents, the charge-states and the energ...
