Abstract

Recent advances in laser-plasma experiments using foams were discussed. The experimental work presented showed that the use of low density foams may be a very useful means of realizing new experiments in the laser-plasma domain. Fundamental to the success of such experiments were the use of uniform foams with submicron pore size, the use of optical smoothing techniques (PZP) and the use of space and time-resolved diagnostics.
