Abstract:
A simple model is developed for describing the interaction of intense femtosecond laser pulses with solid-state targets which is based on a set of equations of two-temperature hydrodynamics for electrons and ions of a plasma formed upon ionization of the target matter, equations describing the variation of ion composition of plasma upon ionization and the heat energy expenditure on thermal ionization, and equations defining the energy contribution by laser radiation to the target matter. A self-similar solution is suggested which well describes the heating of plasma electrons during the time of effect of a femtosecond laser pulse in a wide range of its parameters. Lagrangian computer codes developed for this purpose are used to derive, in a one-dimensional approximation, a numerical solution for the set of equations for the parameters corresponding to femtosecond experimental facilities under development in Germany and Russia. Profiles of hydrodynamic quantities (electron and ion temperature, plasma pressure and density, mean ion charge) obtained in the numerical solution at different moments of time may be used for preliminary assessment of the results of future experiments with a view to optimizing their parameters.
