dependence is seen in the ion saturation current distribution. The laser plasma expands in the narrow region near the centre axis even if no field is applied. This phenomenon is one of the characteristics of laser-induced plasmas. Once a laser pulse irradiates the target, a surface layer of the target is ionized to form a dense plasma which absorbs most of the laser energy. Then the pressure at the target surface
