Ives,R. S. Broyles,John A. Caird,Alvin C. Erlandson,J. E. Murray,W. Behrendt,Norman D. Neilsen,Joseph M. Narduzzi +19 more
TL;DR: A large-aperture (30-cm) kilojoule-class Nd:glass laser system known as Z-Beamlet has been constructed to perform x-ray radiography of high-energy-density science experiments conducted on the Z facility at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indirectly driven, high convergence inertial confinement fusion implosions.
M. D. Cable,Stephen P. Hatchett,John A. Caird,J. D. Kilkenny,H. N. Kornblum,Stephen M. Lane,C. Laumann,R. A. Lerche,Thomas J. Murphy,J. E. Murray,M. B. Nelson,Donald W. Phillion,Howard T. Powell,David Ress +13 more
TL;DR: A series of high convergence indirectly driven implosions has been done with the Nova Laser Fusion facility and the imploded fuel areal density was measured using a technique based on secondary neutron spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial filter pinhole for high-energy pulsed lasers.
Peter M. Celliers,Kent Estabrook,R. J. Wallace,J. E. Murray,L. B. Da Silva,B. J. MacGowan,B. M. Van Wonterghem,Kenneth R. Manes +7 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a new pinhole architecture that addresses issues by incorporating features intended to reduce the rate of plasma generation, and initial experiments have verified its performance improvement relative to a conventional pinhole design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial filter pinhole development for the national ignition facility.
TL;DR: It is shown that a +/-150-microrad stainless-steel cone pinhole will pass a full-energy NIF ignition pulse with required margins for misalignment and for smoothing by spectral dispersion.
Patent
Composite polymer-glass edge cladding for laser disks
Howard T. Powell,Michael O. Riley,Charles R. Wolfe,Richard E. Lyon,John H. Campbell,Edward S. Jessop,J. E. Murray +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, volume absorbing glass strips are adhesively bonded to the edges of polygonal disks using a bonding agent whose index of refraction matches that of both the laser and absorbing glass.
