Abstract

The influence of the temporal and spatial characteristics of the laser radiation on the heating and compression of targets is experimentally and theoretically investigated. The experiments were made with the Progress laser using gaussian and temporally shaped pulses. For the temporal shaping, the electro-optical deflectors was used. The peak to valley ratio in shaped pulses was about 100. The regular phase plates were used for the improvement of target irradiation uniformity. This type of correctors has some advantages as compared to random phase plates.
