摘要：

A single channel sub-nanosecond time-resolved Thomson scattering system used for pulsed power-driven high energy density plasma measurements has been upgraded to give electron temperatures at two different times and from two different angles simultaneously. This system was used to study plasma jets created from a 15 mu m thick radial Al foil load on a 1 MA pulsed power machine. Two laser pulses were generated by splitting the initial 2.3 ns duration, 10 J, 526.5 nm laser beam into two pulses, each with 2.5 J, and delaying one relative to the other by between 3 and 14 ns. Time resolution within each pulse was obtained using a streak camera to record the scattered spectra from the two beams from two scattering angles. Analysis of the scattering profile showed that the electron temperature of the Al jet increased from 20 eV up to as much as 45 eV within about 2 ns by inverse bremsstrahlung for both laser pulses. The Thomson scattering results from jets formed with opposite current polarities showed different laser heating of the electrons, as well as possibly different ion temperatures. The two-angle scattering determined that the electron density of the plasma jet was at least 2 x 10(18) cm(-3). Published by AIP Publishing.
