Abstract

The self-radiation characteristics of plasma created under the effect of a powerful laser radiation on a target are considered. The radiation in the spectral range from 1 to 1300 Å is calculated in coherent assumption for given gas-dynamic fields corresponding to various phases of laser target explosion. The source function was determined in accordance with a plasma radiation-collision model with the assumption of its transparency. Calculations show that the contribution of line radiation to the total flux may be from 20 to 60%. Mainly, this paper considers radiation transfer. The effect of self-radiation on level populations and frequency redistribution at resonance scattering is taken into account. The resonance scattering is predominant in the coronal plasma. Exit of photons from deeper layers of the target in comparison with the coherent case increases. Macroscopic plasma motion leading to spectral line shift is taken into consideration in the calculations. Output radiation spectral intensity distribution in oxygen and silicon H-like ions resonance lines has been determined. Spectral line profiles calculated with account of basic broadening mechanisms were used.
