Abstract
A laser ion source with the beam focused along the normal to the target sur face was designed and produced. Tests of this system performed in compariso n with the conventional for laser sources laser-beam injection and focusing at an angle of 45 degrees have shown that the fraction of multiply charged high-energy ions significantly increases in such a design of the source.
