Abstract

We develop a new simulation code for the optimization of efficiency of the laser pumped plasma (LPP) extreme ultra violet (EUV) light source, which is applicable to the pre-plasma formation from a tin droplet target irradiated by a pre-pulse laser. We investigate algorithms of reorganization of the mesh for the Lagrangian hydrodynamics simulation. We also investigate the model of the liquid to gas phase transition to calculate the dynamics of particle formation through the laser ablation.
