Low-Order Harmonic Generation in Metal Ablation Plasmas 65
Table 3.2 Full-width half-maxima of harmonic emissions (in mm)
as a function of the position of IR driving laser focus with respect
to center of ablation plasma in the direction of laser propagation
(z-scan). The distance of the propagation direction of the driving
laser to the target is 0.6 mm for nanosecond pulses and 0.2 mm for
picosecond pulses
