Abstract

A method of probing beam refraction is suggested for the investigation of laserproduced plasma with high density gradients. The refraction angle α of a probing ray as a function of ray impact parameter p is used as input data. Different experimental realizations of α(p) measurements are considered. Results from laser produced plasma interferograms processed with phase shift and refractometry methods are compared.
