Abstract
The recoil momentum acting on dielectric and metal targets in the rang e of pulsed laser radiation intensities 0.1-10 MW/cm2 has been experim entally studied as a function of ambient pressure and incidence angle. An empirical equation is obtained to calculate the recoil momentum ac ting on irradiated targets. lt has been examined how the shielding pro vided by the erosion torch and the counter-pressure affect the recoil momentum at different values of ambient pressure.
