摘要
Ablative acceleration of thin-foil targets at low laser irradiance (1012-1013 W/cm2) is studied experimentally and theoretically. Ablative acceleration of foils up to 107 cm/sec with good hydrodynamic efficiency (20%) has been achieved. These and other results are in good agreement with a simple rocket model. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
