Abstract

Measurements of the axial magnetic field produced during the interaction of circularly polarized laser light with plasma are reported. The experiments were performed with a circularly polarized Nd:YAG laser, with a wavelength of 1.06 μm and a pulse duration of 7 ns, in a range of irradiances from 10⁹ to 10¹⁴ W/cm². Axial magnetic fields from 500 G up to 2.17 MG were measured. Up to 5 × 10¹³ W/cm² the results are in agreement with a nonlinear model of the inverse Faraday effect dominated by the ponderomotive force.
