    Notes: OMEGA, a 60-beam, 351 nm, Nd:glass laser with an on-target energy capability of more than 40 kJ, is a flexible facility that can be used for both direct- and indirect-drive targets and is designed to ultimately achieve irradiation uniformity of 1% on direct-drive capsules with shaped laser pulses (dynamic range (approximately-greater-than)400:1). The OMEGA program for the next five years includes plasma physics experiments to investigate laser–matter interaction physics at temperatures, densities, and scale lengths approaching those of direct-drive capsules designed for the 1.8 MJ National Ignition Facility (NIF); experiments to characterize and mitigate the deleterious effects of hydrodynamic instabilities; and implosion experiments with capsules that are hydrodynamically equivalent to high-gain, direct-drive capsules. Details are presented of the OMEGA direct-drive experimental program and initial data from direct-drive implosion experiments that have achieved the highest thermonuclear yield (1014 DT neutrons) and yield efficiency (1% of scientific breakeven) ever attained in laser-fusion experiments. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Nonlinear laser–matter interaction processes in long-scale-length plasmas (1992)

    Notes: This paper reports on nonlinear laser–plasma interaction experiments using long-scale-length plasmas produced by the 24-beam OMEGA laser system operating at 351 nm. The experiments were carried out with distributed phase plates (DPP's) in all beams and with and without smoothing by spectral dispersion (SSD). Most of the beams were used to create a large preformed plasma, which had gradient scale lengths of ≤800 μm at electron densities below a quarter of the critical density nc and temperatures in excess of 1 keV. One of the beams, the "interaction beam,'' was timed independently and tightly focused to intensities ∼1015 W/cm2. All beams had pulse durations of ∼0.6 nsec. The interaction processes studied were mainly Raman scattering and the two-plasmon decay (TPD) instability as evidenced by its characteristic 3/2-harmonic emission. Details of the Raman and 3/2-harmonic spectra are presented. Evidence was found for the TPD instability close to its Landau cutoff density at ∼ 0.2nc. Raman emission was narrow-band and observed only from densities 〈 0.2nc. For late timings of the interaction beam, the Raman emission appeared to originate from near the peak of the density profile, but for earlier timings it appeared to come from densities a factor of 2 below the calculated peak. Application of SSD affected the 3/2-harmonic emission only slightly, but it strongly reduced the Raman emission. A discussion is given of some models that attempt to explain these observations.

    Production and characterization of hot, long-scale-length laser plasmas (1992)

    Notes: Experimental data and hydrodynamic simulation results are presented for long-scale-length plasmas produced by the multibeam OMEGA fusion laser, with (approximately-less-than)1.5 kJ on target at wavelength 351 nm. The appropriately time-delayed beams from this system allow the production of millimeter-sized plasmas with (approximately-greater-than)1 keV electron temperatures maintained over extended periods of time ((approximately-greater-than)1 nsec). The two-dimensional plasma expansion and the temporal evolution of the electron temperature and density are found to be in very good agreement with simulations. The plasma thus produced forms an excellent tool for investigating laser–plasma interaction processes under conditions relevant to future laser-fusion reactor targets.
