摘要
We present an experimental study of the dynamics of shocks generated by the interaction of a double-spot laser in different kinds of targets:simple aluminum foils and foam-aluminum layered targets.The experiment was performed using the Prague PALS iodine laser working at 0.44μm wavelength and irradiance of a few 10^(15)W/cm^(2).Shock breakouts for pure Al and for foam-Al targets have been recorded using time-resolved self-emission diagnostics.Experimental results have been compared with numerical simulations.The shocks originating from two spots move forward and expand radially in the targets,finally colliding in the intermediate region and producing a very strong increase in pressure.This is particularly clear for the case of foam layered targets,where we also observed a delay of shock breakout and a spatial redistribution of the pressure.The influence of the foam layer doped with high-Z(Au)nanoparticles on the shock dynamics was also studied.
