Abstract

High resolution x-ray emission spectra of plasma created by laser irradiation of rare-gas (Ar, Kr, Xe) clusters have been measured at laser intensities over 10¹⁹ W/cm² and 30-fs pulse duration. To make these measurements possible, in addition to the effort to decrease a prepulse intensity using Pockels cell switches, micron-size clusters were produced using a specially designed conical nozzle. The Boltzmann equation and a detailed collisional radiative model are solved simultaneously as a function of time to model the time integrated x-ray spectra of the transient plasma. The results are quantitatively in good agreement with the experimentally observed x-ray emission spectra of Ar clusters.
