Space Debris Mitigation Utilizing Laser Ablation
Space debris poses an increasingly serious threat to satellites and spacecraft. Our project will aim to mitigate this problem using an array of kilowatt-class lasers, powered by photovoltaics. An experiment was implemented to study this using a directed energy system to completely vaporize or propel space debris out of Earth’s orbit. Common materials found in space debris were tested using a 60...
متن کاملDesign and optical characterization of a large continuous phase plate for Laser Integration Line and Laser Megajoule facilities.
For development of the French Laser Integration Line and the Laser Megajoule, we describe the design and the control of a first 383 mm x 398 mm continuous phase-plate prototype. Extensively used in laser fusion facilities for beam smoothing, this optical component was manufactured by deep etching onto a fused-silica substrate, which led to a phase plate engraved directly onto fused silica, with...
متن کاملDesign, optical characterization, and operation of large transmission gratings for the laser integration line and laser megajoule facilities.
Within the framework of the laser integration line (LIL) and the laser megajoule, we describe the design, optical characterization, mounting, alignment, and operation on the LIL of large 420 mm x 470 mm transmission gratings. Two types of grating were manufactured. The first, operating at a wavelength of 1.053 microm, was used for deviation purposes. The second, operating at a wavelength of 0.3...
متن کاملModelling debris and shrapnel generation in inertial confinement fusion experiments
Modelling and mitigation of damage are crucial for safe and economical operation of high-power laser facilities. Experiments at the National Ignition Facility use a variety of targets with a range of laser energies spanning more than two orders of magnitude (∼14 kJ to ∼1.9 MJ). Low-energy inertial confinement fusion experiments are used to study early-time x-ray load symmetry on the capsule, sh...
متن کاملRadiation protection at synchrotron radiation facilities.
A synchrotron radiation (SR) facility typically consists of an injector, a storage ring, and SR beamlines. The latter two features are unique to SR facilities, when compared to other types of accelerator facilities. The SR facilities have the characteristics of low injection beam power, but high stored beam power. The storage ring is generally above ground with people occupying the experimental...
