Abstract
Using a normally impinging, visible backlighting technique, lateral energy transport out of the focal spot has been observed on the rear surface of targets irradiated by 1.06 μm laser light. The range of irradiances employed extended from 5 × 1012 to 2 × 1014 W/cm2. For a small focal spot, 40 μm in diameter, and targets thinner than 30 μm, the energy out of the focal spot arrives at the rear surface before the central shock wave.
