Description

The ASHURA KrF laser (660 J, six beams) is being upgraded by adding a 10 kJ amplifier and 12 beam optics. The new system, Super-Ashura, is expected to yield 8 kJ on target with shaped waveform and spatially smoothed profile. In the target shooting experiments with the present ASHURA, absorption rate, mass ablation rate and backscattering reflectivity have been measured for long scale-length plasmas produced by 10 ns flat-top laser pulses in the power density range of 1013 to 1014 W/cm2.
