Regenerative Amplifier for the Omega Laser System
LLE Review, Volume 76 219 The 60-beam OMEGA Nd:glass laser is a direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) laser facility capable of achieving 30-kJ UV energy with an arbitrary temporal pulse shape predetermined by the target design. The initial low-energy, temporally shaped pulse is generated by the pulse-shaping system1 (similar to a design developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab...
متن کاملProgress in sub-picosecond timing system development
We are reporting on research, development and indoor tests of the novel principle event timing system based on Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter excitation as a time interpolator. Its operating principle is based on the fact that a transversal SAW filter excited by a short pulse can generate a finite signal with highly suppressed spectra outside a narrow frequency band. If the responses to two...
متن کاملPulse Shaping on the OMEGA Laser System
184 LLE Review, Volume 72 Current target designs for laser-driven inertially confined fusion experiments require that the laser drive pulse be tailored to the target, i.e., that the pulse have some temporal shape other than Gaussian. On the 60-beam OMEGA1 laser system this is accomplished by placing an electro-optic modulator at the input of the system, which is driven by an electrical pulse fr...
متن کاملHollow-Shell Implosion Studies on the 60-Beam, UV OMEGA Laser System
82 LLE Review, Volume 78 Direct-drive inertial confinement laser fusion is accomplished by uniformly illuminating spherical fuel-bearing targets with high-power laser beams, ablatively driving implosions that result in large increases in density and temperature. Current large laser systems such as the University of Rochester’s OMEGA laser, which is capable of both directand indirectdrive implos...
متن کاملLaser Beam Hazard for flight personnel
Lasers can produce a beam of light of such intensity that permanent damage to human tissue, in particular the retina of the eye, can be caused instantaneously, even at distances of over 10 km. At lower intensities, laser beams can seriously affect visual performance without causing physical damage to the eyes; causing transient damage or causing sensation and loss of focus. Laser illumination o...
