Abstract
Femtosecond laser produced plasma plume expansion from a copper target was investigated at background air pressures ranging from atmospheric pressures to 10-1 torr and pulse energies of 50-400 μJ (6×1013-5×1014 W/cm2). Spatially and temporally resolved plasma imaging measurements indicated two separate emission regions in the plasma as the plume expands at background pressures of 1-25 torr.
