Ultrashort pulses from a neodymium-glass laser with a rapidly switched plasma mirror
Abstract
Laser pulses with a length of about 20 ps have been observed in a neodymium-glass laser with a plasma mirror. The pulses were photographed in the near and far radiation zones. Streak photographs have been taken of the plasma motion. The position of the plasma mirror at the resonator axis has been determined.
