A non-equilibrium model for laser-generated plasmas is used to represent collinear dual
nano-second-pulse interactions. In the specific case considered, the breakdown is initiated …

A focused laser can cause local optical breakdown of a gas, which leads to rapid deposition
of energy into a high-temperature plasma kernel that expands and induces a complex flow …
