Abstract

An experimental study was carried out using the systems of delivering synchronous subpicosecond and nanosecond laser pulses for x-ray backlighting and plasma production. As a result, a time and space ionization mapping of an expanding aluminum plasma from early to late times after the maximum of the laser pulse was successfully obtained.
