Measurement of rear surface temperatures of laser-irradiated thin transparent targets

Visible emission measurements from the rear surface of laser-irradiated thin transparent target foils show a transient light flash followed by secondary light emission due to rear surface heating. This temporal signature is different from that reported in shock experiments in transparent solids. Rea...

Description
Summary:Visible emission measurements from the rear surface of laser-irradiated thin transparent target foils show a transient light flash followed by secondary light emission due to rear surface heating. This temporal signature is different from that reported in shock experiments in transparent solids. Rear surface temperature determinations versus time on laser-accelerated CH targets are presented.
