摘要
The 30 TW GEKKO MII short pulse laser (25 J in 0.71 ps at 1 mu m) is completed and is used for fast ignitor and particle accelerator research. The photon pressure of the laser at 10(17)-10(18) W/cm(2) pushed the critical and quarter critical density plasmas forward, resulting in the strong red shifts of the second (2 omega(0)) and three-halves (3 omega(0)/2) harmonic emissions backscattered from CH or CD planes. A few hundred keV proton and deuteron emissions are also observed from CD planes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
