Question: What is the difference between plasmas and laser plasmas?

Ceri Brenner answered on 16 Jun 2011:

laser plasmas are just plasmas that have been produced from the interaction of a high power laser pulse with some material. I tend to call them laser plasmas so that you know where they came from, like i’d call the sun a ‘fusion plasma’. Laser plasmas also tend to have properties that make them different from the plasma you get in a plasma tv for example, in that they are really really hot (10^7 degrees) and are really small, and don’t last for very long.
