Abstract
Nova is the first laser to irradiate targets with many kilojoules of 0.35-μm light using its ten arms. It is also the first laser to irradiate a target with more than 1 kJ of well-polarized 0.35-μm light from a single arm. This paper reports our observations of scattered light during such irradiations. The experiments used square 1-ns pulses.
