Experimentally determined absorption for spherical-shell targets
Abstract
Energy absorbed by spherical-shell targets irradiated using the KMSF ellipsoidal-mirror illumination system at powers on target of up to 1.0 TW has been measured using a thermopile differential calorimeter. Data are presented for 1.06 and 0.532-μm laser light, for glass and low-atomic-number PVA targets, and for laser configurations with and without a plasma spatial filter.
