Abstract
Measurements of impulse coupling coefficients for 180‐nsec HF (2.7 μm) laser pulses on aluminum targets are reported. The targets were irradiated both at atmospheric and reduced pressure. Coupling coefficients of up to 13 dyn sec/J were observed. These short‐pulse 2.7‐μm measurements are compared with 1.06‐μm short‐pulse measurements reported in the literature.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
