Spot-shadowing optimization to mitigate damage growth in a high-energy-laser amplifier chain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A spot-shadowing technique to mitigate damage growth in a high-energy laser is studied. Its goal is to minimize the energy loss and undesirable hot spots in intermediate planes of the laser. A nonlinear optimization algorithm solves for the complex fields required to mitigate damage growth in the National Ignition Facility amplifier chain. The method is generally applicable to any large fusion laser.

متن کاملLaser Pulse Shaping via Iterative Learning Control and Infinite-dimensional Extremum Seeking
We investigate pulse shaping and optimization for a laser amplifier. Due to the complex character of the nonlinear PDE dynamics involved in the laser model, it is of interest to consider non-model based methods for pulse shaping. We determine input pulse shapes for an unknown laser dynamics model using iterative learning control (ILC) and infinite-dimensional extremum seeking (ES), which is a r...

متن کاملWavefront Compensation of Zig-zag Slab Laser Amplifier under High Power Diode Laser Pumping
A diode-pumped Nd:glass zig-zag slab laser was developed for the purpose of inertial fusion energy (IFE) driver and material processing. In this laser system, we obtained 10.6 J output at 1 Hz repetition rate and 8.4 J at 10 Hz [1]. As a repetition rate increased, the obtainable output energy was limited because of thermal lensing of laser glass induced by high average power laser diode pumping...
