Abstract

Hot electrons produced by ultra-short pulse laser interacting with solid targets were studied systematically. When 800 nm, 8 × 1 0 15 W /cm 2 laser pulses interacted with solid targets, hot electron emission was found to be collimated in certain directions and the angular distribution of hot electrons depended on the energy absorption. The angular divergence of outgoing hot electrons was inversely proportional to the hot electron energy. The energy spectrum of hot electrons was found to be in a bi- Maxwellian distribution and the maximum energy was over 500 keV.
