The dynamics peculiarities of carbon erosion jet formed by action of nanosecond laser pulses at vacuum

Abstract

The description of the processes occurring in the carbon erosion laser jets (ELJ) is devoted to a number of theoretical and experimental works, however, due to the complexity of the object of their study, the articles, as a rule, are somewhat one-sided, highlighting one or more of the many factors of this phenomenon. This work aims to study the processes of development and decay of carbon erosion torches, based on a vast array of experimental data and taking into account the mathematical model of the dynamics of torches, which is proposed by S. I. Anisimov and B. S. Lukyanchuk /3, 4/. An important role is given to the analysis of own empirical data of the study of spatio-temporal distributions of optical and electrical characteristics of the discussed processes.
