A simple technique for single-shot microscopic electron imaging was demonstrated for the study of intense femtosecond laser-produced plasmas. Passed through a permanent magnet lens designed for 110-keV electrons, hot electrons emitted from the plasma produced by a single laser pulse of 0.8 mJ with intensity of 3 x 10(16) W/cm(2) were successfully imaged. Analyzing this image, we found that electrons were emitted from an area of 3 mu m in diameter. At higher laser intensity of 10(18) W/cm(2), distinct structures were observed in and near the focal spot of the laser; that is, the electrons were emitted from several separate spots. These results show that laser-plasma electron imaging is promising for studying the interactions of femtosecond lasers with high-density plasmas. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
