Abstract: The plasma produced by the Q-switched YAG laser acting upon a silicon diode having a PIN junction has been investigated theoretically and experimentally.Mach-Zehnder interferograms of the plasma and related computed results have been obtained for the first time.

Key words: silicon photodiode, laser produced plasma, interferometry, PIN junetion
