Computational simulation of laser plasma emission with shock-wave-affected density distribution in the gas-jet target

Аннотация

Based on the results of numerical fluid dynamics simulation, an imitation parameter has been constructed which simulates the observed intensity of the laser plasma emission in a short-wave range. Within the computational model frame, a high-temperature perturbation is created in the jet that generates a strong shock wave. The resultant complicated target structure and its evolution lead to nonmonotonic time variations of the simulation parameter. This result agrees well with the experimentally measured behavior of emission from the laser plasma formed on the target perturbed by an additional laser prepulse.
