Study of the conditions for the effective energy transfer in a process of acceleration and collision of the thin metal disks with the massive target

Efficiency studies of laser driven thin metal disks acceleration using the first harmonic (λ₁=1.315 μm) of the Prague Asterix Laser System (PALS) and subsequent craters creation produced by collisions of these disks with massive targets are presented. Several different disks made of aluminium and copper foils with diameters of 300 μm and 600 μm and thicknesses of 11 μm (Al) and 3.6 μ m (Cu) were employed. Disks were placed at the distance of either 100 μ m or 300 μm in front of aluminium massive targets. The following irradiation conditions were used: the laser beam energy of 120 J, the focal spot diameter of 200 μm, and the pulse duration of 0.4 ns (FWHM). A three-frame interferometric system was employed to determine electron density distributions in plasma corona. Shape and volume of craters were obtained by crater replica technology and microscopy measurements. The aim of these investigations was to analyse conditions leading to the most effective energy transfer in the process of collision of the accelerated disks with solid targets. The overall efficiency of these processes was characterized by the volume of craters produced in such targets.     

Progress in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion research at the laboratory for laser energetics

Direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is expected to demonstrate high gain on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in the next decade and is a leading candidate for inertial fusion energy production. The demonstration of high areal densities in hydrodynamically scaled cryogenic DT or D₂ implosions with neutron yields that are a significant fraction of the “clean” 1-D predictions will validate the ignition-equivalent direct-drive target performance on the OMEGA laser at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE). This paper highlights the recent experimental and theoretical progress leading toward achieving this validation in the next few years. The NIF will initially be configured for X-ray drive and with no beams placed at the target equator to provide a symmetric irradiation of a direct-drive capsule. LLE is developing the “polar-direct-drive” (PDD) approach that repoints beams toward the target equator. Initial 2-D simulations have shown ignition. A unique “Saturn-like” plastic ring around the equator refracts the laser light incident near the equator toward the target, improving the drive uniformity. LLE is currently constructing the multibeam, 2.6-kJ/beam, petawatt laser system OMEGA EP. Integrated fast-ignition experiments, combining the OMEGA EP and OMEGA Laser Systems, will begin in FY08.     

高斯光束在外加空间调制电场的光折变晶体中的演化

研究了高斯光束在外加空间调制电场的光折变晶体中的演化,结果表明,在不同的外加调制电场作用下高斯光束的光场分布会随着外电场变化而被调制。重点研究了同相位和反相位以及相位差为π/2的高斯光束在外加空间调制电场的光折变晶体中的相互作用,在外加空间分布线性增加电场作用下出现了许多新的实用特性,通过调整外加电场分布,可以让两同相位相干光靠得更近而不发生融合,也可以让两靠得很近的反相位光束可控偏转,还可以控制相位差为π/2的两相干光束进行能量转移。这种连续变化的电场可以用阶梯分布的电场替代,为工程实现提供了可能。

Creation evidence of the second non-dispersive Zakharenko wave by helium atomic beams in superfluid helium-II at low temperatures

In this work, the experimental results of the creation of the second non-dispersive Zakharenko wave (C _ph = C _g ≠ 0) in the negative roton branch (the so-called second sound) of the bulk elementary excitations (BEEs) energy spectra are introduced. Several BEE signals detected by a bolometer situated in the isotopically pure liquid helium-II at low temperatures ∼100 mK are shown, which give evidence of negative roton creation in the liquid by helium atomic beams striking the liquid surface. The negative roton signals were clearly distinguished by the following ways: the negative roton signal created by helium atomic beams appeared earlier than the positive roton signal created by the beams, and presence of both positive and negative roton signals together. It is natural that the negative roton creation by the beams requires the ⁴He-atom energies ∼12 K, while the positive roton creation by the atomic beams requires energies ∼35 K. Therefore, successive increase in the heater power resulting in an increase in the ⁴He-atom energies gives solid evidence that the negative rotons are first created in the liquid by the helium atomic beams.

Flat-topped Mathieu-Gauss beam and its transformation by paraxial optical systems

In order to avoid the severe axial intensity oscillations which appear when an ideal Mathieu beam is truncated, we propose to modulate it by a flattened multi-Gaussian envelope. The obtained beam, which is referred as flattened Mathieu-Gauss (FTMG) beam, can be expanded into a finite series of Mathieu-Gauss beams with various waists. The propagation study of this beam reveals that the axial intensity is unchanged within a certain propagation distance as for super-Gaussian-Bessel beams or Gori’s flattened Bessel beams. By using Collins formula, we derive closed-form expressions of FTMG beam propagating through a paraxial axisymmetric ABCD optical system. Some numerical calculations and discussions are also given.     

Studies of propagation characteristics of elliptical Gaussian beams through circular apertured optical systems

An approximate analytical propagation formula of the elliptical Gaussian beams through a paraxial ABCD optical system with a circular aperture is obtained on the basis of the expansion of a hard-edged aperture into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions. And the parameter characteristics of the truncated beams including the beam propagation factor and the kurtosis parameter are also studied in detail by using the second-order-moments method.     

Propagation properties of a partially polarized electromagnetic twist anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model beam in turbulent atmosphere

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral formula, analytical formulae for the elements of cross-spectral density matrix of partially polarized electromagnetic twist anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model (TAGSM) beam propagating in turbulent atmosphere can been derived by a tensor method. Our main attention was focus on the effect of the atmospheric turbulence, twist parameters and partial coherence on the spectral degree of polarization, the spectral degree of coherence and the spectral density. Numerical calculation results and analysis are given.
