A hydrogen plasma is produced with a CO2 TEA laser of about 1 MW power. The plasma is investigated with probes, streak and short-time photography, transmission measurements, holographic interferometry, and shadowgrams with a ruby laser. The measurements are compared with a theory of plasma production by laser from solid targets and good agreement has been found. Recombination is found to be important in this experiment.
