Abstract

Layered plane targets have been irradiated with 0.35 µm laser wavelength at the power level 0.1 TW using the Nd-glass laser system Octal equipped with KDP tripling systems. Four beams were superimposed on a 150 µm in diameter focal spot. Propagation of the thermal front (T ≥106K) was analysed by means of time-resolved recording of the sub-keV X-ray target emission. A comparison to computer simulations shows that the results can be described by a flux limiter f = 0.03 ± 0.015.
