Abstract
A pulsed CO2 laser was used to irradiate aluminium alloy in a vacuum with powers of up to approximately 106W mm-2. The pressure generated was recorded by a quartz gauge. Sample reflectivity and plasma attenuation for 10.6 mu m radiation were measured in separate experiments. A computer program was developed to model the interaction of laser radiation with aluminium. This yielded pressure values in good agreement with the experimental results.Keywords
