Abstract
A method and system for generating laser induced plasma targets for use as an electromagnetic testbed. A method comprising the steps of propagating an intense laser pulse in a media, dividing the laser pulse into a plurality of lasers, focusing each of the plurality of lasers, directing each of the plurality of lasers into a testbed and rastering a plasma-based array, wherein the array is reflective of incident frequencies. Additionally, a plasma target system comprising: a laser source, a focus lens, a steering system, a plasma-based array, and an interrogation system. The laser source generates a short laser pulse. The focus lens focuses the laser pulse. The steering system directs the laser pulse into a test bed. The plasma-based array serves as a target for the testbed. The interrogation system utilizes an incident frequency for tracking the plasma-based array.
