Mechanisms for three-halves harmonic emission from laser-produced plasma
Abstract
Three halves harmonic emission from thin foil targets irradiated with high power ( > 10 16 W cm -2) Nd laser pulses is reported. Spectral differences between forward and backscattered 3ω 0/2 emission are seen, explained by plasmon/photon and three plasmon recombination.
