Irradiation uniformity improvement by incoherence of amplified spontaneous emission in glass laser fusion systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Direct drive laser fusion requires uniform illumination of a spherical target which is placed in the quasi-far field of intense laser light. Nonuniformities in the ablation pressure on the target surface should not exceed. 2 or 3%; thus very uniform irradiation must be obtained in the target plane.
