Spatial and temporal variations of electron temperatures and densities from EUV-emitting lithium plasmas

Abstract: Planar slabs of pure Li were irradiated with 1.064 nm, 6 ns Nd:YAG laser pulses. Determination of plasma densities at both the earliest times of plasma formation and near the target surface was performed using Nomarski interferometry. The plasma parameters at later times were evaluated using optical emission spectroscopy. The space- and time-dependent electron densities and temperatures of the plasma were determined from their Stark broadening and the relative intensities of the spectral lines, respectively.

“…Different authors [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] have previously described this kind of study. In order to study the plasma-plume expansion dynamics of different species, we plotted spectrally resolved 1D-spatial and 1D-spectral imaging mode for different delay times.…”

“…The plasma density can be inferred from the profile of the line spectra, because the shape and width of the spectral lines are governed by the collisional process perturbing the emitting atoms and ions. The FWHM of Stark broadened lines is related to the electron number density n e by [21][22][23] Dk 1=2 ¼ 2W p n e 10 16 1 þ 1:75G n e 10 16 1=4…”

“…15 They also studied the spatial and temporal variations of electron temperatures and densities from EUVemitting lithium plasmas with the Nd:YAG laser. 16 Namba et al studied the vacuum ultraviolet out-of-band radiation emitted from dense spherical minimum-mass tin plasmas generated by a Nd:YAG laser. 17 Recently, Shaikh et al investigated the temporal and spatial evolution of the electron temperature and electron density of Sn plasma produced by a CO 2 laser with a pulse energy of 130 mJ for delay times between 200 ns and 1100 ns using a one-dimensional OES method.…”
