Metrology for sub-Rayleigh-length target positioning in ∼1022 W/cm2 laser–plasma experiments
Tight focusing with very small f-numbers is necessary to achieve the highest at-focus irradiances. However, tight focusing imposes strong demands on precise target positioning in-focus to achieve the highest on-target irradiance. We describe several near-infrared, visible, ultraviolet and soft and h...
