Abstract

Plasma jets were produced using a high repetition rate laser by laser-ablation of coatings on the surface of conical impressions machined into solid blocks of an aluminium alloy. The ablating plasmas emerged into background gases generating shock waves. The jet-shock system was diagnosed using interferometry. The use of a high repetition rate laser allowed examination of a large number of combinations of jet materials, background gases and gas pressures.
