Abstract

When a laser beam of high intensity interacts with a dense material, an ablation front appears in the high-temperature plasma resulting from the interaction. Such a front can be used to accelerate and compress the dense material. The dynamics of the ablation front is strongly coupled to that of the absorption front where the laser energy is absorbed. The present paper determines analytical solutions of the front internal structure in the fully compressible case.
