Abstract
Considerable has been expended in the design of the OMEGA upgrade laser system to ensure that the on-target energy uniformity and, ultimately, the power uniformity is very high (1–2% rms energy uniformity on target). This requires not only uniform and repeatable output from the laser itself but also matched performance from the frequency-conversion crystals. It also places considerable demands on the energy-measurement system.
