    The damage morphologies of a formvar target under laser irradiation at the intensity of (a) 6×1012 W/cm2 and (b) 1.1×1013 W/cm2. (c) The intensity distribution around the focal spot. (d) A line out of the laser intensity across the focal spot (scattered black circle), the corresponding Gaussian fit (red line), and the exponential fit (green line) of the raw data.
