Electro-optic analysis of the influence of target geometry on electromagnetic pulses generated by petawatt laser-matter interactions
We present an analysis of strong laser-driven electromagnetic pulses using novel electro-optic diagnostic techniques. A range of targets were considered, including thin plastic foils (20-550 nm) and mass-limited, optically-levitated micro-targets. Results from foils indicate a dependence of EMP on t...
