Abstract

The characteristics of the specularly reflected laser light (1.06 μm) from a copper plasma have been studied experimentally. The diffusivity and depolarization of specularly reflected radiation can be explained by the density contours and self-generated magnetic field at the radiation turning point in the plasma layer.
