Emission Characteristics of Polymeric Targets under Intense Laser Radiation

Results are given of experimental determination of the energy and spectrum-brightness characteristics of the near-surface laser plasma for ablating polymeric targets under vacuum conditions for the IR-VUV range (hν = 1...70 eV). In a wide range of adjusting parameters of the radiation effect on the targets at standard laser frequencies, a new data has been obtained on the multi-factor radiation-and-gasdynamic processes, that is required for determination of the emission and ablation characteristics of the ablating targets under vacuum.
