  • Abstract
    Experimental investigation of laser-produced plasma of silicon is described in this work. Plasma was produced by nanosecond (6 ns) nitrogen laser pulses (337.1 nm) with maximal energy density of about 1.1 J/cm/sup 2/ and studied by UV-VIS spectroscopy. Electron density of the order of magnitude of 10/sup 18/ cm/sup -3/ and electron temperature of about 1.5 eV were achieved in produced plasma. Numerical modelling of target heating predicts 4-5 times higher electron temperature than experimentally determined ones. The optical depth of particular material is main parameter for plasma production.
