Abstract
The spatial characteristic of an aluminum laser-induced plasma are studied at a laser radiation intensity of (3.8–4.8) × 108 W/cm2 and an air residual pressure of 6.7–133.3 Pa. It is found that the duration of the aluminum plasma glow is 50 μs and decreases with decreasing laser power output. The glow intensity reaches a maximum at t = 1.4 μs and rises with laser energy. Typical sizes of the emitting area on the laser torch are determined.
