Enhanced laser absorption from radiation pressure in intense laser plasma interactions
The reflectivity of a short-pulse laser at intensities of $2\times {10}^{21}\,{\mathrm{Wcm}}^{-2}$ with ultra-high contrast ( ${10}^{-15}$ ) on sub-micrometer silicon nitride foils was studied experimentally using varying polarizations and target thicknesses. The reflected intensity and beam quality...
