Abstract

An investigation of the electromagnetic (EM) pulse produced by high intensity laser-solid interactions has been carried out by employing the proton probing technique. Laser parameters including energy, pulse duration, and intensity were varied to investigate the influence on the EM pulse amplitude. The data reveal that the amplitude of the EM pulse depends on the incident laser energy and the pulse duration. The optimum pulse length for a given laser energy is found to be close to 100 fs. The net charge associated with the traveling EM pulse has been found to be dependent on the laser intensity, in a good agreement with a semiempirical model. The understanding of the EM pulse is important for the postacceleration of laser driven proton beams.
