Measurements of magnetic fields using the Zeeman effect in laser-produced plasmas

Abstract
In this article, experimental results on magnetic fields obtained from measurements of the Zeeman effect in laser‐produced plasmas are presented. Observations of the coronal plasma produced by interaction between a carbon plane target and a 0.25 μm laser beam, show for the first time at such short wavelengths the existence of toroidal and axial fields with amplitudes reaching, respectively, 0.35 and 0.5 MG.
