Laser-Produced Plasmas and Radiation Sources.
Abstract
The research performed under this program has covered a broad range of subjects involving laser interaction with both gaseous and solid target laser plasmas, and with development of plasma diagnostic techniques suitable for our laser-produced plasmas. Included are detailed descriptions of research activities during fiscal years 1978 and 1979. These include a study of stimulated Brillouin scattering in transverse magnetic fields; development of X-ray diagnostics including X-ray continuum measurements, spectroscopy, and imaging techniques and their use in studying solid target plasmas; development of a fast schlieren photography system; and a theoretical study of nonlinear scattering techniques for plasma diagnostics.
