Abstract
Time-resolved trajectories of the critical and quarter-critical densities were obtained through observation of plasma emissions at second and three-halves harmonics of the laser frequency. Characteristic behavior of the critical-density region is noted. Intensity histories of the plasma emissions were measured and compared to the incident pulse. The measurements were made during laser-fusion experiments where glass microballoon targets were irradiated with the 0.2-TW peak power output of a four-beam Nd: glass laser.Keywords
