Abstract
The paper describes a device that can measure simultaneously both the pressure on a surface irradiated with a laser and the radiation transm ittance through the erosion plume caused by the intense laser evaporat ion. The pressure is measured by a piezoelectric transducer, and laser light is taken up by an optic fiber in the target opening. The recoil momentum is derived from the integral of the pressure with respect to time.
