Abstract
Far-field irradiance patterns with approximately super-Gaussian envelopes are of interest in direct-drive, flat-target laser plasma experiments in support of the OMEGA laser-fusion program. The super-Gaussian far-field envelope may be several hundred times the width of the Airy pattern. A large variety of phase plates have been investigated.
