Abstract

Spherical gold Hohlraums were heated by the iodine laser ASTERIX IV (200 J/0.4 ns at 440 nm) and were used to investigate radiative heating of low-Z plastic foils at temperatures up to 100 eV by time-resolved XUV emission and absorption spectroscopy. Spectra of the reemitted radiation (the albedo) for different C-, O-, F-, or Cl-containing plastic materials are presented. Depending on the material, the typical total (frequency-integrated) reemission is in the range of ≈10% of the gold reemission. By measuring the absorption spectra it was possible to follow the burnthrough in carbon from the initial solid degenerate state up to a high ionization state with absorption lines due to hydrogen-like carbon corresponding to a temperature of about 100 eV. The propagation of the heat wave into the material also has been studied by observing the emission from boron tracer layers embedded at different depths in the plastic foil. The experimental observations are compared with MULTI simulations.
