Zusammenfassung: | The Technological Laboratory of LMU Munich supplies various types of solid-state target
for laser plasma experiments at the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications in Garching.
Our main focus here is on the production of free-standing, thin foil targets, such as
diamond-like-carbon foils, carbon nanotube foams (CNFs), plastic, and gold foils. The
presented methods comprise cathodic arc deposition for DLC targets, chemical vapor
deposition for CNFs, a droplet and spin-coating process for plastic foil production, as
well as physical vapor deposition that has been optimized to provide ultrathin gold foils
and tailored sacrifice layers. This paper reviews our current capabilities, which are a
result of a close collaboration between target production processes and experiment, using
high-power chirped pulse amplification laser systems over the past eight years. |
