Instability of a thin conducting foil accelerated by a finite wavelength intense laser

Instability of a thin conducting foil accelerated by a finite wavelength intense laser

We derive a theoretical model for the Rayleigh–Taylor (RT)‐like instability for a thin foil accelerated by an intense laser, taking into account finite-wavelength effects in the laser wave field. These finite-wavelength effects lead to the diffraction of the electromagnetic wave off the periodic str...
