摘要
Investigations of a spatial density distribution at the focus of an intense picosecond Nd:YAG loser-pulse (lambda = 1064 nm) near a metallic target in air have been performed by interferometry and absorption photography with high temporal and spatial resolution (50 ps, < 1 mu m). An effect of microchanneling and an intense shock-wave formation in laser-produced plasma were observed. Estimations show that the current density in the microchannel is of the order of 10(10) A/cm(2), followed by the generation of a self-magnetic field in the narrow channel having a magnitude of 7 MG. When the power density of laser radiation was reduced to a value of the order of 9 X 10(9) W/cm(2) a significant change in electron density distribution has been estimated: a shock wave with a strong boundary front vanished, an electron density failed under the value of the order of 10(18) cm(-3).
