AbstractMeasurements of x-rays emitted by hot plasmas provide a powerful diagnostic method of determining important plasma parameters and suggest certain types of plasmas as possibly useful x-ray sources. Instrumentation to accomplish these measurements for various types of plasmas are reviewed. State-of-the-art x-ray spectrometers, calorimeters, and source-imaging devices, designed especially for plasmas generated by focused, nanosecond laser pulses are described. Possibilities of time-resolved measurements on such short-lived plasmas are discussed.

In this study, detailed characteristics of the optical near-field based ablation-induced plasma are investigated. A Cr thin metal film samples are ablated using visible and near infrared nanosecond laser pulses coupled through an optical near-field fiber probe. The ablated plasma evolution is visualized through time-resolved emission imaging and further analyzed via spectral measurement. Unveiled qualitative differences in optical near-field ablation configuration are discussed in comparison with optical far-field ablation. The measured results support implementation of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy based on optical near-field ablation.

Laser-induced-surface-flaw experiments on fused silica at 351 nm and 500 ps pulse duration are reported here. Specimens with surface flaws produced at a measured exit-surface damage threshold fluence of Fexit/th = 10 J/cm2 were irradiated at a constant fluence of FL = 1.8 × Fexit/th by different numbers of laser pulses, N = 110 to 520. Micrograph observations show that (i) the produced cracks have a semielliptical shape and (ii) the material strength predictions based on the radial crack depth (normal to the surface) instead of the crack surface length (parallel to the surface) are in good agreement with measured strengths obtained using a four-point bending fixture. The underlying basis of conventional crack analysis is first examined critically and is argued to be deficient in the way the failure strength for the cracks is related to the characteristic parameters of crack geometry. In general, it is necessary to incorporate a residual term into the failure strength formulation. The crack depth and the failure strength are found to increase and decrease with the number of laser pulses, respectively.
