  • Abstract
    Soft X-ray laser interferograms were acquired to map the evolution of a dense plasma jet created by the laser irradiation of a solid copper triangular target. The plasma is observed to rapidly expand along the symmetry plane of the target, forming a narrow plasma plume with measured electron densities of up to 1.2times1020 cm-3.
