Shearing interferometry is used to capture a snapshot of the plasma created behind a laser with intensity of a billion watts per square micrometer. The Center for Matter under Extreme Conditions is studying the onset of laser plasma instabilities such as Stimulated Raman Scatter for this high intensity and the role that magnetic fields could play in controlling these instabilities in inertial confinement fusion scenarios.
