Generation of shock waves by laser-induced plasma in confined geometry

Abstract: Confined plasmas induced by neodynium glass laser at 1.06 μm and pulse width of 3 and 30 ns are studied. The metallic target is covered with a dielectric layer, glass or water, transparent to the laser radiation. Experimental measurements of the pressure induced by the plasma have been performed. For a certain range of laser power density these measurements agree particularly well with an analytical model. At high power densities (10 GW/cm2), the dielectric breakdown appears to be the main limiting process of … Show more

“…For the same laser fluence, the use of the femtosecond laser pulse results in a higher power density (~ 10 15 W/cm 2 ), which is appoximately five orders of magnitude higher than the nanosecond laser (~10 9 -10 10 W/cm 2 ). It is known that higher laser power density increases the mechanical load placed on materials due to high ablation and plasma pressures [26,27]. In the present study of the single crystal superalloy, a layer of plastically deformed material ~5 m in extent was observed.…”

“…The particle velocity history was measured using an optically recording velocity interferometer system (ORVIS). A continuouswave Nd:YVO 4 laser with a wavelength of 532 nm was used as the probe light for interferometry. The probe light was focused through the transparent PETN [110] sample onto the rear side of the aluminum surface.…”

“…The target assembly with a plasma confinement geometry [7,8] was fabricated with a back-up float glass substrate (100 × 100 × 3 mm 3 ), 30-µm thick aluminum foil, a 50-µm thick Teflon spacer, and a cover float glass substrate (100 × 100 × 3 mm 3 ). The sample was filled into the space surrounded by the Teflon and glasses (Fig.…”
