Gas lens laser produced plasma

Abstract

A gas lens is used to focus a megawatt ruby laser beam on to a target to create a plasma. By using focal plane photographs and Faraday cup plasma diagnostics, the focusing ability of a gas lens is compared with an equivalent glass lens. In this experiment the gas lens compares favorably when the laser beam has a divergence of ~1 mrad.
