Title Possible Langmuir oscillations in the He beta spectral line profile
Contributors
Abstract A 3.4 ps duration, high-repetition rate laser is used to create an aluminium ablation plasma at intensities between 10(15)W/Cm-2 and 10(17)W/cm(2). K-shell emission is observed from the target surface and several 100 mu m in to the plume. High resolution, spatial resolved measurements of the He beta (1s3p - 1s(2)), He gamma (1s4p - 1s(2)), He delta (I s5p - 1S(2)) and He epsilon (1s6 p - 1s(2)) transitions are obtained using a highly dispersive toroidal crystal spectrometer coupled to a large area charged-coupled device. This data shows unusual intensity modulations on He beta transitions. These oscillations are observed to 50 mu m above the target and are found to be reproducible, and the intensity of the modulations is laser irradiance dependent.
