Abstract
A new type of optical system for measurements of laser beam deflection has been developed and implemented experimentally. The refractive ind ex gradient in the anode plasma of a megavolt magnetically insulated d iode in a high-power ion accelerator has been measured with submicron resolution. The refractive index distribution in the layer was measure d during the pulse and the average electron density in the layer was d etermined. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
