Abstract

Light and proton emission from rear surface of sandwich-like targets, which are irradiated by intense femtosecond laser pulses, have been measured. It is found that both of them depend on the transport material and density inside the targets. For metal transport layers the patterns of the optical images and the proton beams are uniform. While for the transport layers of dielectric, low-density foam and vacuum gap, the patterns are broken up. This indicates that the fast electron beams are also broken up probably due to instabilities.
