Abstract

This paper describes the application of phase-amplitude imaging to the measurement of self-generated magnetic fields in laser-produced plasmas. The magnitude of the magnetic field is determined by polarimetry and the plasma density profile by interferometry. Both pieces of information are recorded on a single interferogram in a form that can be analyzed automatically using computer-based image processing. We describe a method for successfully determining the magnetic field profile in plasmas generated by 70-ps Nd laser pulses at high intensity on planar targets when plasma motion or turbulence introduces an additional difficulty by reducing the visibility of the fringes.
