Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of silicon plasma generated by picosecond laser in vacuum were studied by using spatiotemporally resolved emission spectroscopy technique. Temporal and spatial evolution behavior about plasma has been analyzed. Meanwhile, the temporal and spatial dependence of silicon ions with different charges were examined. Finally, the validity of assuming a local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) in the silicon plasma expansion was checked, and the deviation degree of LTE was measured. The results indicate that the assumption was valid only at longer (< 180 ns) delay times in the area z < 4 mm away from the target surface. At the initial stage of plasma expansion, the plasma deviates from LTE due to the sharp decrease of plasma temperature and electron density.
