Abstract

The Beamlet laser system is the scientific prototype of one beamline of the proposed 192-beam National Ignition Facility, With a 35-cm × 35 cm beam-size, Beamlet was designed to evaluate new architectures, components, and materials that will make a National Ignition Facility economically feasible. A full diagnostics suite was designed to measure Beamlet spatial gain uniformity, temporal pulse shaping, SBS-suppressing phase modulation, beam phase front, and overall energy performance.
