GHz-Rate Full-Field Holographic Observation of Ultra Short Pulsed Laser (USPL) Plasma Dynamics Generated from Acrylic Polymer, Aluminum and Steel Targets and Their Correlation to RF Emissions

Abstract

Light-matter interactions are fundamental to many technologies used today. They are complex, non-linear processes sensitive to the properties of the source, material, mechanisms, and environment in which they interact. In order to control a process, its key features must be measurable and characterised. To date, most efforts in doing so follow either empirical or theoretical approaches, requiring existing or potential users of laser technology to invest significant time and money in their attempted use.
