Framed monochromatic images of implosions taken with the joint LLE/LANL Gated Monochromatic X-ray Imager (GMXI)
Abstract
We have used the GMXI [1,2] to obtain framed and time integrated monochromatic images of imploding targets having Ti-doped shells and Ar-doped fuel. The instrument which has a best resolution of 5 microns, a time resolution of 80 ps, and a spectral window from 20 to 100 eV was used to image the time dependent space resolved emission from the He-like Lyman alpha lines of the shell and fuel dopants thereby restricting the emission to that of the shell or the fuel respectively. Results taken in laboratory characterizations experiments and during routine operation on the OMEGA laser system will be presented. [1.] F.J. Marshall and J.A. Oertel, Rev. Sci. Instrum.
