Time-resolved kiloelectron-volt spectroscopy of ultrashort plasmas
Abstract:
We describe a technique for spectrally and temporally resolving the kilo-electron-volt emission fromultrashort plasmas produced from solid targets with a tabletop terawatt 400-fs laser. The firsttime-resolved Al spectra (near 8 Å) obtained with a 2-ps time resolution are presented. The results clearly demonstrate that the resonance emission width decreases as the plasma density increases. The ultrafast K(α) emission component is also measured in our experimental conditions.

There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.
