Abstract
The ablation pressure at a 0.44-μm laser wavelength has been measured at irradiance up to [Formula presented] The diagnostics consisted in the detection of shock breakout from stepped Al targets. By adopting large focal spots and smoothed laser beams, the lateral energy transport and “drilling effects” have been avoided. The measured scaling shows a fair agreement with analytical models.
