Description

On the basis of the three-beam output of basic frequency from 'Shenguang-II' laser facility and beam smoothing technology of lens-array, the shock wave with a better planarity in ranged 650-750 μm the target was created after optimum design and rational combination for laser beam. Then the efficiency of output beams from 'Shenguang-II' laser facility had been raised. And the shock stability experiment with the inclined-plane target indicated that the shock wave steadily propagated in the Al target of thickness of about 28.38-55.82 μm and 22.13-35.07 μm under the power density of 3.26 x 1014 W/cm2 and 3.11 x 1014 W/cm2 respectively
