Abstract: | The properties of a high density plasma focus produced inside a ring target with an Nd laser have been investigated. Studies of the axial propagation of a CO2 laser beam through the plasma focus have shown that the device can be used either as a fast pulse clipper or as an optical isolator for high power infra-red lasers. Self-focussing, strong refraction and defocussing and non-classical absorption of the CO2 laser beam have all been observed. |
