Description
Imaging Thomson scattering has been implemented on the Omega Laser facility at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, University of Rochester [J. M. Soures et al., Laser and Particle Beams 11, 317 (1993)]. Using a high-resolution spectrometer and an intensified charge-coupled device, the electron temperature profile, ranging from 1.5 to 3 keV, was measured along the axis of a CH gas-filled hohlraum. The system integrates over 200 ps a region 2 mm in length and has a spatial resolution of 50 μm and a spectral resolution of 0.027 nm. Data obtained from this diagnostic are compared to hydrodynamic simulations
