摘要：

Tight focusing with very small f-numbers is necessary to achieve the highest at-focus irradiances. However, tight focusing imposes strong demands on precise target positioning in-focus to achieve the highest on-target irradiance. We describe several near-infrared, visible, ultraviolet and soft and hard X-ray diagnostics employed in a similar to 10(22) W/cm(2) laser-plasma experiment. We used nearly 10 J total energy femtosecond laser pulses focused into an approximately 1.3-mu m focal spot on 5-20 mu m thick stainless-steel targets. We discuss the applicability of these diagnostics to determine the best in-focus target position with approximately 5 mu m accuracy (i.e., around half of the short Rayleigh length) and show that several diagnostics (in particular, 3 omega reflection and on-axis hard X-rays) can ensure this accuracy. We demonstrated target positioning within several micrometers from the focus, ensuring over 80% of the ideal peak laser intensity on-target. Our approach is relatively fast (it requires 10-20 laser shots) and does not rely on the coincidence of low-power and high-power focal planes.
