    Notes: The NOVA laser has completed its first year of operation. During this period, emphasis has been placed on activation of the facility and of the numerous target and beam diagnostics. Two separate target chambers are in use. NOVA operation is separated into two broad functions: laser operations and experiments. The operations group provides the laser system control, operation, and data acquisition and the experiments group provides experiment definition, diagnostic instrumentation, and overall data processing. On the operations side, VAX 11/780 computers are used to set up diagnostic operating parameters and collect data recorded by the CAMAC and CCD modules. These data are delivered in files by electronic link to the Laser Experiments and Analysis Facility (LEAF) VAX 11/785 of the experiments group for processing. Film data are digitized at LEAF and the film data files are also processed on the LEAF VAX. The LEAF provides collection, processing, analysis, and archiving of the experimental data. The many applications software packages written for LEAF provide the experimental physicists and NOVA operations staff with programs and data bases for interpretation of experimental results. This software makes fundamental use of the ORACLE relational data base management system to both access the required data and archive the obtained results. Post-shot data processing produces sets of scalar values, x, y profiles and x, y, z contour data. The scalar data are stored in the ORACLE DB; the more extensive results are stored in binary files on disk. All data forms are accessed by a comprehensive software system, the electronic SHOTBOOK, developed around the ORACLE DBMS. This software also provides the means to archive relevant data about each experimental activity and allows the physicists to annotate displayed experimental results with technical comment.

    Notes: We discuss two approaches to obtain neutron detectors of very high temporal resolution. In the first approach, a uranium-coated cathode is used in a streak tube configuration. Secondary electrons accompanying the fission fragments from a neutron-uranium reaction are accelerated, focused through a pinhole, and streaked. Calculations show that 20-ps time resolution can be obtained. In the second approach, a uranium-coated cathode is integrated into a transmission line. State-of-the-art technology indicates that a time resolution of 20 ps can be obtained by gating the cathode with a fast electric pulse.

    Notes: Experiments to obtain time-resolved, soft-x-ray emission from laser-driven plasmas are succinctly described. The spectra (0.19 keV ≤ hν ≤ 1.3 keV) at various times have been deconvolved and energy integrated to obtain time-resolved yields from Au disk targets. The temporal profiles of the total thermal x-ray output power follow the overall laser temporal shape but do not show the high-frequency fluctuation observed in the laser pulse. The behavior of the ratio of the instantaneous x-ray yields over the laser absorption is studied. The studies were done at the LLNL Nova laser facility. Single pulses and pulses in "picket fence'' configuration were used to heat the gold targets.

    Notes: The goals of the recently activated Nova laser facility are to address critical issues for evaluating the feasibility of inertial confinement fusion, to implode DT to densities exceeding 200 g/cm3 and pressures greater than 1011 atm, and to perform a wide range of high energy density plasma physics experiments in the areas of XUV/x-ray lasers, hydrodynamics, and radiation generation and transport. An extremely flexible and sophisticated facility is required to successfully perform such a variety of tasks. The ten-arm Nova laser is capable of irradiating complex targets with laser wavelengths of 0.53 and 0.35 μm and pulse widths that range from 0.09 to 〉5 ns, and peak powers greater than several terrawatts per beam line. A sophisticated, variable impedance, transmission line driven Pockels cell allows for complex temporal shaping of the laser pulse. Synchronized oscillators allow for different pulses to be propagated down the beam lines for experiments that require long-pulse or short-pulse x-ray backlighting. The output of the laser can be directed into two independent target areas: a 4.4-m-diam vacuum vessel for experiments which require 10 beams, and a 1.8-m-diam chamber for two Nova arms. The facility has been designed to allow nearly simultaneous, independent experiments to be conducted in both target areas. A number of sophisticated optical, XUV, x-ray, and particle diagnostics measure target performance. An optical fiducial system allows cross correlation of all of the diagnostic systems to better than 50 ps. An overview of the facility, diagnostics, and data-acquisition system will be discussed.

    Notes: In this article we describe the operation and applications of a framing camera capable of four separate two-dimensional images with each frame having a 120-ps gate width. Fast gating of a single frame is accomplished by using a wafer image intensifier tube in which the cathode is capacitively coupled to an external electrode placed outside of the photocathode of the tube. This electrode is then pulsed relative to the microchannel plate by a narrow (120-ps), high-voltage pulse. Multiple frames are obtained by using multiple gated tubes which share a single bias supply and pulser with relative gate times selected by the cable lengths between the tubes and the pulser. A beam-splitter system has been constructed which produces a separate image for each tube from a single scene. Applications of the framing camera to inertial confinement fusion experiments are discussed.

    Notes: A study of the absorption and scattering of laser light by planar, laser-produced plasmas is reported. Up to 4 kJ of 0.53 μm laser light irradiated thick, gold targets in 1 nsec pulses at intensities up to 4×1015 W/cm2. The absorption was determined from measurements of the scattered light by an array of about 100 detectors. Stimulated Brillouin sidescattering, identified by the angular distribution and spectrum of the scattered light, exceeded 10% of the laser energy for intensities above 1015 W/cm2. The observations are compared to those of previously reported experiments. It is suggested that a combination of collisional absorption, enhanced backscattering, and convective sidescattering produces the observed dependence on laser intensity.

    Notes: Recent advances in laser science and technology have opened new possibilities for the study of high energy density plasma physics. The advances include techniques to control the laser spatial and temporal coherence, and the development of laser architectures and optical materials that have led to the demonstration of compact, short pulse (τ≤10−12 sec) high brightness lasers, capable of irradiating plasmas with intensities ≥1018 W/cm2. Experiments with reduced laser coherence have shown a substantial decrease in laser-driven parametric instabilities and have extended the parameter range where inverse bremsstrahlung absorption is the dominant coupling process. Beam smoothing with short wavelength lasers should result in inverse bremsstrahlung dominated coupling in the irradiance parameter regimes of the millimeter scale-length plasmas envisioned for the megajoule class lasers for ignition and gain in inertial fusion. In addition new regimes of laser–plasma coupling will become experimentally accessible when plasmas are irradiated with I≥1018 W/cm2. Relativistic effects, extreme profile modification, and electrons heated to energies exceeding 1 MeV are several of the phenomena that are expected. Numerous applications in basic and applied plasma physics will result from these new capabilities.

    Notes: Experiments investigating the pulse-width dependence of thermal x-ray conversion efficiencies (hν〈1.5 keV) in laser-heated gold plasmas are described. The results show that the instantaneous ratio of the emitted x-ray flux to the laser energy deposition rate increases throughout a 4-ns laser pulse. The studies were carried out using single arms of the 10-beam Nova laser facility. The irradiance was ∼4–5×1014 W/cm2 in the target plane as we varied the laser pulses' FWHM from 2 to 4 ns. The laser pulses were nominally flat-topped and contained between 1 and 2 kJ of (1)/(3) μm light. Time-resolved plasma radiation was monitored with a broadband, streaked x-ray spectrograph that has a roughly 30-ps time resolution and channels that are roughly 100–150 eV wide. One-dimensional numerical models run with the lasnex code produce a conversion efficiency that is nearly constant throughout the laser pulse. We discuss various approximations made in the one-dimensional models and conclude that none of them are a likely explanations for the increase of conversion efficiency with time. A preliminary two-dimensional model of a disk heated by a 3-ns pulse shows that the conversion efficiency increases throughout the pulse. The increase is due to soft x rays emitted from outside the laser spot. Further experiments and modeling will be carried out to assess these two-dimensional effects.
