摘要: High-powered glass-laser systems with multiple beams, frequency-conversion capabilities, and pulse-shaping flexibility have made numerous contributions to the understanding of inertial confinement fusion related laser-plasma interactions. The Nova laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is largest such facility. We improvements amplifier system that permit increased power energy output. summarize nonlinear effects now limit Nova’s performance discuss produced 1.05-, 0.53-, 0.35-μm wavelengths, including results pulses temporally shaped improve target performance.
