Journal ArticleDOI
Exploding-Foil Technique for Achieving a Soft X-Ray Laser
Mordecai D. Rosen,Peter L. Hagelstein,Dennis L Matthews,E. M. Campbell,A. U. Hazi,B.L. Whitten,B. J. MacGowan,Robert Turner,Richard W. Lee,G. Charatis,Gar. E. Busch,C. L. Shepard,P. D. Rockett +12 more
TL;DR: Besides ionizing the Se to a Ne-like state, the laser explodes the foil, creating a region of uniform electron density that allows propagation of the x rays down the 1-cm-long gain direction without debilitating refraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser–plasma interactions in ignition‐scale hohlraum plasmas
B. J. MacGowan,Bedros Afeyan,Christina Back,Richard Berger,Guy Bonnaud,M. Casanova,Bruce I. Cohen,D. E. Desenne,D. F. DuBois,A. G. Dulieu,Kent Estabrook,Juan C. Fernández,Siegfried Glenzer,D. E. Hinkel,T. B. Kaiser,Daniel H. Kalantar,Robert L. Kauffman,R. K. Kirkwood,William L. Kruer,A. B. Langdon,Barbara F. Lasinski,D. S. Montgomery,J. D. Moody,D. H. Munro,L. V. Powers,H. A. Rose,Christophe Rousseaux,Robert Turner,Bernhard H. Wilde,Scott Wilks,E. A. Williams +30 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the scattering of laser light by SBS and SRS as a function of beam smoothing and plasma conditions in the National Ignition Facility (NIF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of laser‐produced plasma x‐ray sources for use in x‐ray radiography
Dennis L Matthews,E. M. Campbell,Natale M. Ceglio,G. Hermes,Robert L. Kauffman,L. N. Koppel,Richard W. Lee,Kenneth R. Manes,V. C. Rupert,V. W. Slivinsky,Robert Turner,F. Ze +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the absolute conversion efficiency from the incident laser light energy to x-ray photons for laser-produced plasmas was studied as a function of laser wavelength, pulsewidth, and intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and interpretation of Nova's symmetry scaling data base.
L. J. Suter,Allan Hauer,L. V. Powers,David Ress,N. D. Delameter,W. W. Hsing,Otto Landen,A. R. Thiessen,Robert Turner +8 more
TL;DR: 2D LASNEX simulations of Nova's nine symmetry scaling databases reproduce the fundamental features seen in the experiments and predict how Nova's beam pointing must change in order to achieve best symmetry with various pulse shapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thomson scattering from inertial-confinement-fusion hohlraum plasmas
Siegfried Glenzer,Christina Back,L. J. Suter,M. A. Blain,Otto Landen,J. D. Lindl,B. J. MacGowan,Gary Stone,Robert Turner,Bernhard H. Wilde +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first Thomson scattering measurements of local plasma conditions in ignition-relevant, gas-filled, inertial-confinement-fusion hohlraums were presented.
