Abstract:
The present thesis report the results obtained from the studies carried out on the
laser blow off plasma (LBO) from LiF-C (Lithium Fluoride with Carbon) thin film
target, which is of particular importance in Tokamak plasma diagnostics. Keeping
in view of its significance, plasma generated by the irradiation of thin film target by
nanosecond laser pulses from an Nd:YAG laser over the thin film target has been
characterized by fast photography using intensified CCD. In comparison to other
diagnostic techniques, imaging studies provide better understanding of plasma
geometry (size, shape, divergence etc) and structural formations inside the plume
during different stages of expansion.
