Electron densities, temperatures, and the dielectric function of femtosecond-laser-produced plasmas

Abstract: The optical properties of dense plasmas in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range are investigated experimentally and theoretically. A method is presented that enables measurement of electron densities in excess of 10 24 cm Ϫ3 . High-order harmonics are transmitted through a femtosecond-laser-produced plasma probing the optical density at several wavelengths. This technique has the advantage of providing direct access to ultrahigh electron densities, and achieves a precision of about 20% at zero time delay. Th… Show more

“…This "step density" model is often used in this kind of problems. 12 The fitting procedure minimizes the standard deviation of the calculated R͑͒ from the measured one by scanning the fitting parameters in a reasonable large parameter space and leads to the following results. Up to 120 ps the plasma parameter el is approxi-mately 1.2/ fs.…”

“…Xie et al (2007) have analyzed the electromagnetic fields and electron acceleration in the bubble regime of the laser-plasma interaction. Theobald et al (1999) have investigated electron densities, temperatures, and the dielectric function of femtosecond-laser-produced plasmas experimentally and theoretically. Taking into account the ponderomotive force, Shokri and Niknam (2006) have investigated the profile of the electric, magnetic field, and electron density in collisionless unmagnetized nonisothermal plasma.…”
