Abstract:
In order to study inverse bremsstrahlung (IB) effect in process of laser-induced copper plasma, copper plasma was induced by Nd:YAG laser at 1064nm. The electron temperature 6902K of the copper plasma was calculated with the Boltzmann plot of 3 Cu Ⅰ lines. By measuring the Stark broadening of Cu Ⅰ at 324.75nm, its electron density of 3.6×1017cm-3 was obtained. Based on these characteristic parameters of copper plasma, the inverse bremsstrahlung coefficient of 0.021cm-1 was obtained. Experimental results show that the plasma parameters can be obtained without any disturbance with the spectral analysis method.
