Calibration of initial measurements from the full aperture backscatter system on the National Ignition Facility
R. K. Kirkwood,T. McCarville,Dustin Froula,B. K. F. Young,D. Bower,Noel R. Sewall,C. Niemann,M. Schneider,J. D. Moody,Gianluca Gregori,F. R. Holdener,M. Chrisp,B. J. MacGowan,Siegfried Glenzer,D. S. Montgomery +14 more
TL;DR: The full aperture backscatter system was designed to provide measurements at the highest expected fluences with: (1) spectral and temporal resolution, (2) beam aperture averaging, and (3) near-field imaging.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Alignment of an x-ray imager line of sight in the National Ignition Facility (NIF) target chamber using a Diagnostic Instrument Manipulator (DIM) and Opposed Port Alignment System (OPAS)
TL;DR: The Opposed Port Alignment System (OPAS) is a modified Schmidt-Cassegrain optical telescope mounted at the target chamber port, opposite the Diagnostic Instrument Manipulator (DIM) as discussed by the authors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

D. Homoelle,Mark W. Bowers,Donald F. Browning,Scott Burns,G. Erbert,B. P. Golick,Jim Haley,T. McCarville,Yekaterina Opachich,Ernesto H. Padilla,N. E. Palmer,Brad Perfect,Larry Pelz,T. Spinka,A Throop,J. Nan Wong +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the design of a compact UV (263-nm) timing fiducial system for use with x-ray streak cameras at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is presented.
The National Ignition Facility System Alignment
S. C. Burkhart,Erlan S. Bliss,P D Nicola,Daniel H. Kalantar,R. Lowe-Webb,T. McCarville,D. Nelson,T. Salmon,T. Schindler,J. Villanueva,K. Wilhelmsen +10 more
TL;DR: The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is the world's largest optical instrument, comprising 192 37 cm square beams, each generating up to 9.6 kJ of 351 nm laser light in a 20 ns beam precisely tailored in time and spectrum.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Opposed Port Alignment System (OPAS): A Commercial Astronomical Telescope Modified for Viewing the Interior of the NIF Target Chamber
TL;DR: The OPAS modifications greatly extend the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope’s field of view, producing nearly diffraction-limited images over a flat field covering ±0.4 degrees.
