Abstract
In this paper, the attenuation process of a laser-induced plasma shock wave (LPSW) has been theoretically discussed and a viewpoint that the weak limi tation of a LPSW is an acoustic wave is suggested. On the basis of the theo retical discussion, a definition of a laser plasma acoustic wave (LPAW) is given. The transition from LPSW to LPAW is also observed on a well-designed experimental set-up.
