Article: General properties of 3/2[[omega].sub.0] and 2[[omega].sub.0] harmonics emission from laser driven plasmas.(Report)

INTRODUCTION

Harmonic generation through the interaction of high power lasers with plasmas has been the subject of many experimental and theoretical studies (1-12) beginning with the work by Burnett at al. (1) in the late 1970's, using [CO.sub.2] laser. During the last recent years, this area of research has become more active for at least two reasons. The first one is the affordability of high intensity lasers based on the chirp pulse amplification.The second one is the fact that the different harmonic generation processes convert, with a promising efficiency, the laser light from the visible and infrared into an UV spectrum, which has some attractive ...
