Abstract:
The temporally and spatially resolved transmission is measured with a green probe beam through the plasma created by an intense near-IR beam that is incident upon a water droplet. We report the propagation speed of the expanding plasma and the evolution of the transmission decrease and recovery at various locations along a line in the direction of the IR beam.
