Abstract

Hollow aluminium microcylinders were irradiated internally through a circular aperture located in one wall using a pulsed ruby laser beam. Plasma formation and ion flows were monitored using a Nomarski interferometer and an array of Faraday cups. A collimation of ion energy along the cylinder axis was observed.
