Production of flat KrF laser focal profiles with echelon free-induced spatial incoherence

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

High gain direct-drive laser fusion requires a uniform spherical pellet implosion. This in turn requires that the focal profile of each driving beam be sufficiently uniform and controlled. Several methods for producing uniform beams have been proposed.
