用于光束匀滑的连续相位板近场均匀性

 为降低高功率激光系统中连续相位板(CPP)后续元件的强激光损伤风险,综合考虑入射光强调制、干涉及衍射作用等多种影响因素,建立了CPP近场计算分析模型,模拟和分析了这些因素对CPP后的近场均匀性的影响。理论分析结果表明：CPP后的光束近场均匀性主要受入射光调制、CPP表面剩余反射率和衍射传输距离的影响;当入射光束质量较差时,CPP后的近场均匀性主要由入射光束质量决定,CPP剩余反射率和衍射传输距离对近场均匀性影响相对较小;但当光束质量比较理想时,干涉和衍射作用会破坏CPP的近场均匀性,衍射传输距离影响尤为突出。

基于宽带激光拍频的瞬时束匀滑技术

针对高功率激光装置对靶面辐照均匀性的需求,提出了一种基于宽带激光拍频的瞬时束匀滑技术。激光集束采用宽带激光,利用连续相位板对焦斑包络进行控制,并结合共轭螺旋相位板使得集束中各子束在焦平面处拍频产生旋转周期不同、位置各异的快速运动散斑。合理选择宽带光参数可使得散斑的旋转周期在皮秒至亚皮秒量级,从而达到瞬时匀滑焦斑的目的。通过建立基于宽带激光拍频的瞬时束匀滑技术物理模型,模拟分析了关键参数包括激光带宽和谱线类型对焦斑束匀滑特性的影响和规律,并与双频单色激光拍频技术作了比较分析。研究结果表明,通过合理选取光源谱线类型或增大激光带宽,所提技术可在降低系统要求的基础上增强对激光等离子体不稳定性的抑制,使焦斑实现瞬时匀滑并获得较好的均匀性。

Spatially resolved measurements of laser filamentation in long scale length underdense plasmas with and without beam smoothing

The onset of filamentation, following the interaction of a relatively long (τ(L)?1 ns) and intense (I(L)?5×10(14) W/cm(2)) laser pulse with a neopentane filled gas bag target, has been experimentally studied via the proton radiography technique, in conditions of direct relevance to the indirect drive inertial confinement fusion scheme. The density gradients associated with filamentation onset have been spatially resolved yielding direct and unambiguous evidence of filament formation and quantitative information about the filamentation mechanism in agreement with previous theoretical modelings. Experimental data confirm that, once spatially smoothed laser beams are used, filamentation is not a relevant phenomenon during the heating laser beams propagation through typical hohlraum gas fills.     

Laser beam filamentation in fractal aggregates

We investigate filamentation of a cw laser beam in soft matter such as colloidal suspensions and fractal gels. The process, driven by electrostriction, is strongly affected by material properties, which are taken into account via the static structure factor, and have impact on the statistics of the light filaments.     

Numerical simulation for space charge dominated beam transport

To simulate the intense bunched beam transport, a computer program LEADS-3D has been developed. The particle trajectories are analysed with the Lie algebraic method. The third order approximation of the trajectory solutions is made with space charge forces off, and the second order approximation is made with space charge forces on. The particle distribution in the 3D ellipsoid is uniform or Gaussian. Most of the conventional beam optical elements are incorporated in the code. The optimization procedures are provided to fit the beam lines to satisfy the given optical conditions.     

Ray-tracing simulation of ionization-free filamentation

A new ray-tracing scheme is proposed to simulate the non-linear propagation of ultra-short pulses. The results are in good agreement with experimental data and numerical solving of the non-linear Schrödinger equation in both the self-focusing and the filamentation regions. In particular, they indicate a major contribution of the photon bath in the self-guided propagation of ultra-short pulses. The model suggests that a pure-Kerr self-guiding mode can allow filamentation without ionization. PACS 42.65.Jx; 42.15.Dp     

Numerical analysis for smoothing of CW multimode beam transformed by time-varying random phase plate

The numerical analysis of CW multimode laser beam transformed by time-varying random phase plate is presented in this paper. The method is based on diffraction integral formula. The dependence of the intensity distribution on the element size, changing frequency and duty ratio is discussed in detail. The numerical results account for the experimental results satisfactorily.     

Numerical simulation of attraction of partially spatially incoherent dark solitons

We investigate numerically the interactions of partially spatially incoherent odd dark solitons in a de-focusing kerr nonlinear media based on the coherent density approach, and find that a pair of partially spatially incoherent dark solitons may be changed from repulsion to attraction with an appropriate incoherence parameter. Moreover, a pair of partially incoherent gray soliton may form under appropriate conditions. Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate their interaction behavior further.     

Direct measurements of an increased threshold for stimulated brillouin scattering with polarization smoothing in ignition hohlraum plasmas

We demonstrate a significant reduction of stimulated Brillouin scattering by polarization smoothing in large-scale high-temperature hohlraum plasma conditions where filamentation is measured to be negligible. The stimulated Brillouin scattering experimental threshold (defined as the intensity at which 5% of the incident light is backscattered) is measured to increase by a factor of 1.7+/-0.2 when polarization smoothing is applied. An analytical model relevant to inertial confinement fusion plasma conditions shows that the measured reduction in backscatter with polarization smoothing results from the random spatial variation in polarization of the laser beam, not from the reduction in beam contrast.     

The role of linear power partitioning in beam filamentation

We demonstrate through computer simulation that power partitioning due to linear diffraction can play a crucial role in the break up of high intensity apertured beams propagating in air. By investigating the way linear diffraction partitions power in these beams, we are able to predict the positions and relative powers of supercritical hot spots. PACS 42.65.k; 42.65.Jx     

Numerical simulation of electron beam relaxation in dense media

Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out for the relaxation of electron beams in dense media. Calculations have been carried out for initial beam energies from 0.2 to 1 MeV and for targets of copper, tin, and air. The results on the energy dissipation are compared for the cases in which the incident electrons have a function energy distribution and a realistic energy distribution. Comparison reveals a satisfactory agreement with data reported by Spencer. The intensity function for the volume bremsstrahlung of the electron beam is calculated.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 84–87, October, 1981.
