Laser driven implosion experiments at Limeil

  • 1. Centre d'Etudes de Limeil, France

Description

Laser driven implosion experiments performed at Limeil with the four beams emitted by our Nd glass laser system C6 in nanosecond range and at incident laser flux less than 1014 W/cm2 are related. Absorption efficiency has been systematically studied as a function of the focusing conditions of the laser beams and has been correlated to the symmetry of the implosion. Time history of the implosion of solid microspheres and hollow glass shells has been correlated to the time evolution of laser power by resolving in time and space second harmonic laser light emission and x-ray emission from the targets with streak cameras
