    Notes: A repetitively pulsed copper vapor laser (510 and 578 nm) is used to machine an opaque polymer (polyimide-Vespel) and a transparent polymer (polymethylmethacrylate-Lucite). Lucite is machinable by coating the surface with an ink which is semi-opaque to the green and yellow laser light. The repetition rate of the laser was 10 kHz with approximately 0.35 mJ/pulse and 3.5 W average power at the copper vapor laser wavelengths for a pulse width of 40 ns. The copper vapor laser thermally loads the target, generating thermal waves and sound waves in the gas which are investigated using HeNe laser beam deflection. The gas adjacent to the target is heated to steady state on the order of 100–400 s. Above the etching threshold, at approximately 10 mJ/cm2/pulse, the target is rapidly machined: 2-mm-diam, 2-mm-deep holes are drilled in 300 s in Vespel. At higher fluences of 100–150 mJ/cm2/pulse in 760 Torr of air it takes 180 s to bore through a 2-mm-thick disk of Vespel. The machined surfaces of the two polymers are very different. Machined Vespel samples are charred and cratered, whereas the Lucite samples show evidence of melting with little charring. The machining of polymers by visible-light copper vapor lasers is being compared to UV photoablation by KrF excimer laser light in order to study thermal versus nonthermal etching mechanisms.

    Notes: Experiments have been performed to measure, in real time, the formation of AlO molecules from laser-ablated Al atoms in oxygen gas and plasma environments. The Al atom plume is generated by focusing a KrF laser (4 J/cm2) on Al metal targets or polycrystalline Al2O3 (alumina) ceramic. AlO molecule formation has been characterized by emission spectroscopy at 464.82 and 484.22 nm molecular bandheads. Time-integrated and time-resolved optical emissions have been measured of laser-ablated Al atoms interacting with oxygen or argon neutral-gas versus plasma backgrounds generated by a high-voltage capacitive discharge. Results indicate that gas/plasma-phase reactions occur between laser-ablated Al atoms and oxygen. Optimal enhancement of AlO optical emission is measured in oxygen plasmas at about 200 mTorr fill pressure. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Resonant holographic interferometry and dye-laser-resonance-absorption photography have been utilized to investigate the expansion of the laser ablation plumes produced by a KrF excimer laser beam (248 nm) focused onto an aluminum target (≈0.1 cm2, 2–6 J/cm2). Plume expansion was studied in vacuum and in background argon gas pressures of 14 mTorr, 52 mTorr, 210 mTorr, 1 Torr, and 35 Torr. The existing theory for the interpretation of resonant interferograms has been extended to account for Doppler shift effects, the diagnostic laser bandwidth, and the selective absorption of the laser beam. Absolute line densities in the range 4.3×1013–1.0×1015 cm−2 have been measured in the ablation plumes, which imply measured Al neutral densities of up to 1×1015 cm−3. The total number of Al neutral atoms in a plume has been measured to be ≈3×1014, which corresponds to a surface etch rate of ≈1 nm/pulse. Expansion velocities in the range 1.1–1.4 cm/μs were measured for the pressures ≤210 mTorr, while ≈0.3 cm/μs was measured for 1 Torr and ≈0.08 cm/μs was measured for 35 Torr. Ablation plume expansion into a 1 Torr rf argon plasma environment was compared with the expansion into a 1 Torr argon gas. The ablation plume appeared to expand and dissipate slightly faster in the plasma.

    Notes: A brief review is given of the potential applications of laser ablation in the automotive and electronics manufacturing industries. Experiments are presented on KrF laser ablation of three materials relevant to manufacturing applications: aluminum metal vs aluminum–nitride (AlN) and alumina (Al2O3) ceramics. Plasma and neutral-atom diagnostic data are presented from resonant-holographic-interferometry, dye-laser-resonance-absorption photography, and HeNe laser deflection. Data show that plasma electron densities in excess of 1018 cm−3 exist in the ablation of AlN, with lower densities in Al and Al2O3. Aluminum neutral and ion expansion velocities are in the range of cm/μs. Ambipolar electric fields are estimated to be 5–50 V/cm.

    Notes: Stark-shift measurements using emission spectroscopy are a powerful tool for advancing understanding in many plasma physics experiments. We use simultaneous two-dimensional space- and time-resolved spectra to study the electric field evolution in the 20 TW Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II ion diode acceleration gap. Fiber optic arrays transport light from the gap to remote streaked spectrographs operated in a multiplexed mode that enables recording time-resolved spectra from eight spatial locations on a single instrument. Design optimization and characterization measurements of the multiplexed spectrograph properties include the astigmatism, resolution, dispersion, and sensitivity. A semiautomated line-fitting procedure determines the Stark shift and the related uncertainties. Fields up to 10 MV/cm are measured with an accuracy ±2%–4%. Detailed tests of the procedure confirm that the uncertainty in the wavelength-shift error bars is less than ±20%. Development of an active spectroscopy probe technique that uses laser-induced fluorescence from an injected atomic beam to obtain three-dimensional space- and time-resolved measurements of the electric and magnetic fields is in progress. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A pulsed Na atomic beam source developed for spectroscopic diagnosis of a high-power ion diode is described. The goal is to produce a ∼1012-cm−3-density Na atomic beam that can be injected into the diode acceleration gap to measure electric and magnetic fields from the Stark and Zeeman effects through laser-induced fluorescence or absorption spectroscopy. A ∼10 ns full width at half-maximum (FWHM), 1.06 μm, 0.6 J/cm2 laser incident through a glass slide heats a Na-bearing thin film, creating a plasma that generates a sodium vapor plume. A ∼1 μs FWHM dye laser beam tuned to 5890 Å is used for absorption measurement of the Na I resonant doublet by viewing parallel to the film surface. The dye laser light is coupled through a fiber to a spectrograph with a time-integrated charge-coupled-device camera. A two-dimensional mapping of the Na vapor density is obtained through absorption measurements at different spatial locations. Time-of-flight and Doppler broadening of the absorption with ∼0.1 Å spectral resolution indicate that the Na neutral vapor temperature is about 0.5–2 eV. Laser-induced fluorescence from ∼1×1012 cm−3 Na I 3s-3p lines observed with a streaked spectrograph provides a signal level sufficient for ∼±0.06 Å wavelength shift measurements in a mock-up of an ion diode experiment. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report measurements of the ratio of the perpendicular velocity to the parallel velocity, α= v⊥ /v(parallel), of a relativistic electron beam gyrating in a magnetic field by the use of (1) Cerenkov emission from a glass plate, detected by a gated microchannel plate image intensifier camera, and (2) electron-beam-induced radiation darkening pattern on the same glass plate. The measurements are based on a direct determination of the Larmor radius of an electron beam of known energy. Experiments were performed on a long-pulse electron beam accelerator with e-beam diode parameters: VD = 0.6–0.9 MV, pulse length=0.5–1 μs, ID = 1–10 kA. The experimental value of α agrees with simulation results from particle trajectory codes as well as theoretical predictions from Busch's theorem and adiabatic theory.

    Notes: Laser-ablation-assisted-plasma discharges (LAAPD) have been used to enhance the ionization of laser ablated aluminum metal. Ablation is accomplished by focusing a KrF excimer laser (248 nm, 40 ns, ≤0.4 J) on a solid aluminum target with a fluence of 4 J/cm2. Peak plasma discharge voltage is 1–4 kV and peak plasma current is 0.2–1 kA, while peak power is 0.1–1 MW. Gated emission spectroscopy is used to determine the charge states and the electronic temperatures within the plasma discharge. With unmagnetized discharge parameters of 3 kV and 760 A, the observed light emission is dominated by transitions from Al2+ ions indicating nearly complete ionization of the plume. From the emission spectra intensities, an Al2+ electronic temperature of 3.3 eV is determined. Emission spectra from unmagnetized LAAPD of 1.2 kV and 280 A show no visible Al2+ ion transitions indicating cooler plasma and a lower ionization state. Introducing a 620 G transverse magnetic field (at 1.2 kV, 280 A) enhances the ionization due to the increased electron confinement and leads to the observance of the Al2+ lines as seen with discharges of 3 kV and 760 A.

    Notes: Two-dimensional species-resolved, holographic interferometry has been used to measure absolute-line-density profiles of KrF laser ablation plumes in vacuum and gas. Laser ablation plumes are generated by focusing a KrF excimer laser (40 ns, 248 nm, ≤0.8 J) on a solid aluminum target at a fluence of 2–5 J/cm2. Aluminum neutral absolute-line-density profiles are measured to characterize the interaction of ablated material with background gases versus vacuum. The interferograms are made using a 20 ns pulsed dye laser tuned near (≤±0.020 nm) the 394.401 nm aluminum neutral transition from the ground state. Calculations have been performed to obtain absolute-line-density profiles from the resonant fringe shift data. Peak aluminum neutral line densities of up to 1×1015 cm−2 have been measured for plumes in backgrounds of 14 mTorr and 1 Torr argon and in vacuum.
