Investigation on the effects of laser parameters on the plasma profile of copper using picosecond laser induced plasma spectroscopy
摘要： Laser induced plasma generation and characterization, affected by laser parameters and sample physical properties, represent important phenomena in many fields of applications. In this work, we present new studies on the effects of an appropriate combination of laser wavelengths and pulse energies on the generated plasma characterization using a single shot picosecond Nd:YAG laser. The plasma plume of a pure copper sample has been generated by laser induced plasma spectroscopy (LIPS) using a single shot 170 ps laser pulse with wavelengths (266, 355, 532 and 1064 nm) and varying laser fluence (10–41 J/cm2). The spectral intensities of Cu I 324.75, 327.39, 515.32 and 521.82 nm have been observed. The plasma electron temperature and density have been determined from the Boltzmann plots and Stark-broadening profiles of the plasma spectral lines, respectively, assuming the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) condition. It has been found that the electron temperature and electron density values increase from around 10,000 to 20,000 K and around 2 × 1017 to 1.5 × 1018 cm?3, respectively, with the increase in the laser wavelength and pulse fluence gradually. These observations can be understood due to the variations of mass-ablation rates, inverse-Bremsstrahlung, and photo-ionization with the studied pulse wavelength and pulse energy. The obtained results explore the opportunity to control specific generated plasma parameters by applying proper picosecond pulse parameters which can be considered in many fields of material science spectroscopic analysis and control the plasma interaction dynamics.

Optical diagnostics for density measurement in high-quality laser-plasma electron accelerators
摘要： Implementation of laser-plasma-based acceleration stages in user-oriented facilities requires the definition and deployment of appropriate diagnostic methodologies to monitor and control the acceleration process. An overview is given here of optical diagnostics for density measurement in laser-plasma acceleration stages, with emphasis on well-established and easily implemented approaches. Diagnostics for both neutral gas and free-electron number density are considered, highlighting real-time measurement capabilities. Optical interferometry, in its various configurations, from standard two-arm to more advanced common-path designs, is discussed, along with spectroscopic techniques such as Stark broadening and Raman scattering. A critical analysis of the diagnostics presented is given concerning their implementation in laser-plasma acceleration stages for the production of high-quality GeV electron bunches.

Optical emission spectroscopy investigation of the current sheet in a small-bore parallel-plate electromagnetic plasma accelerator
摘要： The optical emission spectrum of the propagating current sheet in a small-bore parallel-plate electromagnetic plasma accelerator has been studied. The accelerator is powered by a fourteen stage pulse forming network, which yields a damped oscillation square wave of current with a pulse width of 20.5 ls. The movement of the first current sheet and the second current sheet is identified using three single magnetic probes placed at various axial positions. Current sheet canting is measured by two double magnetic probes. The spectrum of the current sheet is measured using a spectroscopic system. The electron density of the current sheet plasma is determined via Stark broadening of the hydrogen Ha line. The current sheet is almost perpendicular to the electrode. The current sheet electron density increases as the current sheet propagates. The current sheet electron density is mainly determined by the prefill pressure rather than the discharge current. The impurity charged particles caused by ablation of the back wall insulator exists in the current sheet. Residual particles are generally left behind the first current sheet and are swept and ionized by the second current sheet. The estimated current sheet sweeping efficiency is greater than 80%. The parallel-plate electromagnetic plasma accelerator developed in this paper shows great potential in generating high electron density plasma jets.
