ultraviolet spectra of laser produced plasmas formed from tin and tin doped planar targets is
reported. Spectra have been recorded in the 9–17 nm region from plasmas created by a 700
mJ, 15 ns full width at half maximum intensity, 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser pulse using an
absolutely calibrated 0.25 m grazing incidence vacuum spectrograph. The influence of
absorption by tin ions (Sn I–Sn X) in the plasma is clearly seen in the shape of the peak …
