Energetic Ions Produced by Laser Pulse

  • Conference paper
Laser Interaction and Related Plasma Phenomena

Abstract

As a historical note, suggested by the Symposium organizers**, it appears that the first publication dealing with plasmas produced by laser bursts is an abstract in the Bulletin of the American Physical Society:1

“Microsecond bursts of laser energy, having peak power of the order of 30 KW, heated various solids to ionization temperature in a localized region (the focal spot of the lens employed). Descriptions are given of various geometries that have been explored. The emitted plasma was collected on biased grids, thus yielding an approximate value of the peak energy of the charged particles. Results are also given showing the effect of electric and magnetic fields of various configurations. The measurements were carried out in a pressure range of 10−6mm Hg to atmospheric pressure. Possible application of these techniques to controlled-fusion research is discussed. Pulsed-ion sources may also be practicable.”

Presented at “Workshop on Laser Interaction and Related Plasma Phenomena”, June 9–13, 1969, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Hartford Graduate Center.
