Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Acceleration of a thin (10 or 20μm) plastic foil by 120J, 0.438μm, 0.3ns laser pulse of intensity up to 1015W∕cm2 has been investigated. It is shown that the introducing a high-Z dopant to the foil causes an increase in the ablating plasma density, velocity, and collimation which, in turn, results in a remarkably higher kinetic energy and energy fluence of the flyer foil.
