Abstract
Backscattered light at wavelengths near the incident laser wavelength of 0.35 μm irradiated thin targets has been spectrally and temporally resolved. Low-Z targets show significant backscattered signals even after the foils burn through when the density gradient scale length is approximately 1000 times the laser wavelength. The results show the importance of considering seeding mechanisms in the plasma.Keywords
