Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. The guiding of plasma produced by a KrF laser and Nd:YAG laser using straight and curved solenoidal magnetic field has been studied as a means of giving a debris free, controlled deposition source for the production of thin films. Details on the deflection and guiding of the laser produced plasma in curved and straight magnetic fields and initial coating results will be presented. These results will be presented and compared to predictions of plasma guiding using 2D and 3D numerical plasma simulation mode.
