Abstract
Numerical results are presented for the characteristics of heavy‐ion laser‐produced plasmas. A conversion ratio defined as x‐ray power/absorbed power is then computed. Collisional‐radiative equilibrium is assumed for the ionization model. In the case of low radiation emission, a relation between laser flux and plasma temperature is derived. The one‐dimensional geometrical model is then corrected in the expansion by assuming that the emission occurs, in fact, over a length L only. Results are given and compared with experimental ones. The influence of the laser wavelength is also discussed and conclusions on the possible applications of these laser‐produced plasmas are drawn.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
