We investigated the lifecycle of laser-generated air sparks or plasmas using multiple plasma
diagnostic tools. The sparks were generated by focusing the fundamental radiation from an …

Controlling the debris from a laser-generated tin plume is one of the prime issues in the
development of an extreme ultraviolet lithographic light source. An ambient gas that is …

We report spatiotemporal evolution of emission and absorption signatures of Al species in a
nanosecond (ns) laser-produced plasma (LPP). The plasmas were generated from an …

The ion emission properties of laser-produced plasmas as a function of laser intensities
between 4–50 GW cm À2 and varying angles with respect to the target normal were …

We investigated ion emission dynamics of laser-produced plasma from several elements,
comprised of metals and non-metals (C, Al, Si, Cu, Mo, Ta, W), under vacuum conditions …

The continuous effort for transitioning pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique from an
experimental tool into an industrial one can be sustained by the use of complex tools for in …

A highly sensitive fiber-optic sensor based on optical beam deflection is applied for
investigating the propagation of a laser-induced plasma shock wave, the oscillation of a …

Dynamics of metal ions during laser-produced plasmas was studied. A 1064 nm, Nd: YAG
laser pulse was used to ablate pure Al, Fe, Co, Mo, and Sn samples. Ion flux and velocity …

Clarifying the electron and ion emission characteristics of metals irradiated by nanosecond
focused laser in low pressure environment is crucial for improving applications based on …

We report on prompt emission of fast electrons occurring during xenon–fluoride (351 nm)
laser ablation of aluminum targets in the nanosecond regime. We have measured both the …
