Résumé

An experimental investigation of the propagation of a randomized 600-ps laser pulse in a helium gas jet was done by developing a model. The model accounted for collisional ionization through inverse bremsstrahlung. The density and temperature evolution were resolved and their maps were retrieved through time resolved interferometry and Thomson scattering. An ionizatin front was observed. Nonhomogenous heating of the plasma took place due to beam diffraction. The results exhibited the diffraction of laser while propagation, which lead to decrease in laser intensity.
