S. P. Obenschain,Stephen E. Bodner,Denis Colombant,K.A. Gerber,Robert Lehmberg,E. A. McLean,A. N. Mostovych,M. S. Pronko,C. J. Pawley,Andrew J. Schmitt,John D. Sethian,Victor Serlin,J. A. Stamper,C. A. Sullivan,Jill P. Dahlburg,John H. Gardner,Y. Chan,A. V. Deniz,J. Hardgrove,T. Lehecka,M. Klapisch +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the performance of the Nike laser in producing uniform illumination and its performance in correspondingly uniform acceleration of targets, and show that the Nike has spatially uniform ablation pressures (Δp/p < 2%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of laser-imprinted perturbations and Rayleigh–Taylor growth with the Nike KrF laser
C. J. Pawley,K.A. Gerber,Robert Lehmberg,E. A. McLean,A. N. Mostovych,S. P. Obenschain,John D. Sethian,Victor Serlin,J. A. Stamper,C. A. Sullivan,Stephen E. Bodner,Denis Colombant,Jill P. Dahlburg,Andrew J. Schmitt,John H. Gardner,Charles M. Brown,J. F. Seely,T. Lehecka,Y. Aglitskiy,A. V. Deniz,Y. Chan,N. Metzler,M. Klapisch +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate that the beam nonuniformity is reduced by 37, to (ΔI/I)≅0.15% (including short-wavelength beam-to-beam interference).
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of Rayleigh–Taylor growth to short wavelengths on Nike
C. J. Pawley,Stephen E. Bodner,Jill P. Dahlburg,S. P. Obenschain,Andrew J. Schmitt,John D. Sethian,C. A. Sullivan,John H. Gardner,Y. Aglitskiy,Y. Chan,T. Lehecka +10 more
TL;DR: The uniform and smooth focal profile of the Nike KrF laser was used to accelerate 40 μm thick polystyrene planar targets with pulse shaping to minimize shock heating of the compressed material as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
X‐ray emission from plasmas created by smoothed KrF laser irradiation
Yefim Aglitskiy,T. Lehecka,A. V. Deniz,J. Hardgrove,John F. Seely,Charles M. Brown,Uri Feldman,C. J. Pawley,K.A. Gerber,Stephen E. Bodner,S. P. Obenschain,Robert Lehmberg,E. A. McLean,M. S. Pronko,John D. Sethian,J. A. Stamper,Andrew J. Schmitt,C. A. Sullivan,G. Holland,M. Laming +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the x-ray emission from plasmas created by the Naval Research Laboratory Nike KrF laser was characterized using imaging and spectroscopic instruments using a multilayer mirror microscope operating at an energy of 95 eV recorded images of the plasma with a spatial resolution of 2 μm.
