Abstract

Experimental investigations have been carried out to measure the transmission coefficient of laser light through an erosion flare, the coefficient of reflection from the irradiated solid surface, and the recoil momentum of insulating and metal targets in the range of pulsed laser intensities from 106 to 107 W/cm2 with variation in the pressure of the surrounding medium from 10−2 to 105 Pa. An analysis is made of how the screening properties of the erosion flare affect the recoil momentum, and it is found necessary to take into account absorption of the radiation in the flare in determining the coefficient of reflection of the radiation from the surface.
