Abstract
Utilization of low-density porous or foam-like materials in laser-irradiated target designs seems to be a very promising approach to the successful realization of such important research programs as ICF, elaboration of X-ray lasers, laboratory modeling of astrophysical phenomena, and EOS measurements of materials in Mbar pressure range. To give some recommendations on application of low-density media in investigations mentioned above it is necessary to study laser light absorption, plasma formation, energy transport, and plasma homogenization in porous matter. These processes are very complicated and have some important features in comparison with the similar processes in the case of laser-irradiated solid-density targets. To have detailed and reliable experimental data we need to use in each experiment the combination of various diagnostics with high spectral, temporal, and spatial resolution. This paper presents the diagnostic complex developed on the “Mishen” facility as well as some obtained experimental results.
