Abstract

The analysis of the response of dense plasma to electromagnetic waves of moderate intensity can be used as a tool to investigate the validity of the physical models describing the behavior of matter under extreme conditions. Within this work the new experimental data on oblique incidence of polarized electromagnetic wave are presented. The study of polarized reflectivity properties of nonideal xenon plasma was accomplished using laser light at ν las = 2.83 × 1014 s-1 (λ las = 1064 nm) and ν las = 5.66 × 1014 s-1 (λ las = 532 nm). The measurements of polarized reflectivity coefficients of explosively driven dense plasmas have been carried out at incident angles up to θ = 78°. The plasma composition was calculated within a chemical picture. The integration of Maxwell equations to construct the spatial profile of the density of charge carriers of plasmas was based on an interpolation formula for DC conductivity.
