Abstract
The Gaussian plasma density profile from a simple cylindrical nozzle jet was modified using laser generated shock wave. This modification provided great variety of density profiles suitable for different applications. The Gaussian plasma density distribution was modified into fast-rise slow-fall profile with adjustable gradients, almost flat-top profiles, and profiles with variable lengths. Position of the shock wave center and time delay were the major parameters used for shaping the density profiles. Other easily adjustable parameters such as shock wave energy and backing pressure provided linear scaling of the modified plasma densities.
