Results of extended complementary experimental and computer simulation studies of craters formation produced by high power lasers in single and double layer targets are presented. The experimental investigation was carried out using the PALS (Prague Asterix Laser System) facility working with two different laser beam wavelengths: L(lambda)1 = 1.315 žm and L3 = 0.438 žm. Two types of targets made of Al were used: single massive targets and double targets consisting of foils or disks (6 and 11 žm thick for both cases) placed in front of the massive target at distances of 200 and 500 žm. The targets were illuminated by laser energies EL= 130, 240 and 390 J always focused with diameter of 250 žm. In all experiments performed the laser pulse duration was equal to 400 ps. The 3-frame interferometry was employed to investigate the plasma dynamics by means of the electron density distribution time development, as well as the disks and foil fragments velocity measurements. Dimensions and shapes of craters were obtained by crater replica technology and microscopy measurement. Experimental results were complemented by analytical theory and computer simulations to help their interpretation. This way the values of laser energy absorption coefficient, ablation loading efficiency and efficiency of energy transfer, as well as 2-D shock wave generation at the laser-driven macroparticle impact, were obtained from measured craters parameters for both wavelengths of laser radiation. Computer simulations allowed us to obtain an energy absorption balance of incident laser energy for both wavelengths employed.

In the present paper results from our experiments with macroparticles, accelerated at first to high speeds by the PALS iodine laser and subsequently hitting massive targets and creating craters, are presented. The main aim of these investigations concerned the influence of wavelength on the efficiency of macroparticles acceleration and creation of craters. To this end, two different harmonics of the PALS laser beam (l1 = 1.315 mm and l3 = 0.438 mm) and several types of targets (simple massive planar Al targets as well as much more elaborated double targets consisting of 6 mm thick Al foils or disks placed in front of the massive target at the distance of either 200 mm or 500 mm) were used. All these targets were irradiated by the iodine laser beam with its parameters very much the same for both harmonics: the energy of 130 J, the focal spot diameter of 250 mm, and the pulse duration of 400 ps. Velocities of accelerated extracted foil fragments or disks as well as electron density distributions of plasma streams were determined by means of the 3-frame interferometry. Shapes and volumes of craters were obtained employing the crater acetate cellulose replica technology and microscopy measurements. The data from these experiments provided valuable information concerning the ablative plasma generation and crater creation processes.
