AbstractAbstract
[en] The experimental program and the results on laser fusion experiment are described. The Nova laser project has been finalized, and the system is now being constructed. The Shiva laser system will operate at 30 TW in 100 psec and at 15 kJ in 1 nsec. On high density experiments with thick wall targets, the problem of accurately measuring density becomes critical. Alpha particle imaging is proposed. Another attractive imaging technique utilizes the tracer atoms in target fuel. The type of targets used for intermediate density experiments is moderately thick walled, ablatively driven targets. Low density experiments are carried out with exploding pusher targets. They cannot reach high density. Higher density was achieved by using classified targets, approaching 100 liquid DT density. New diagnostics are implemented on Shiva. The technique is the X-ray probing of an imploding target. All of the experiments performed indicated that the suppression of pre-heat electrons and the improved absorption of light in targets are desired. Experiments to convert the 1.06 micron laser system to second harmonic are now underway at LLL. The Nova system is under construction. It will provide more than 150 TW in 100 psec, and more than 100kJ in 3 nsec. As a future project, the research facilities are accomplished adequately with Nd: glass laser systems. Ideas of future plans are described in this paper. (Kato, T.)
