Abstract
Anomalously large laser penetration depths in multilayer planar targets have been observed. Density dependence of the penetration depth also showed significant deviations from the theoretical scaling for laser-driven ablation. A simple model was proposed in which the ablation process was modified by an edge effect due to the small focal spot.Keywords
