Abstract

Expansion regimes of plasma (fast ionization wave, laser supported radiation wave, and laser supported detonation wave) produced by laser–induced breakdown in air have been studied. To determine a pattern of plasma expansion a numerical investigation of propagation velocity dependence on laser radiation intensity was used. Calculation results agree with the experimental data and show that the most expected high-speed mechanism is fast ionization wave.
