    Notes: X-ray emissions in the spectral range of 2–13 nm from 21 kinds of material (carbon through tin) irradiated either by a 4 J/35 ns slab Nd:glass laser or by a 0.5 J/8 ns Nd:YAG laser were recorded with a grazing incidence spectrometer equipped with a microchannel plate detector. The absolute photon intensities of the spectra from these materials were determined. The variation of the molybdenum spectrum with laser irradiance was also investigated. Finally, the spectra ranging from 2 to 13 nm produced by the Nd:YAG laser of both the fundamental (1.06 μm) and its second-harmonic (0.53 μm) wavelengths are compared.

    Notes: A 1-cm-long hollow parylene (C8H8) cylinder-type target was irradiated with a long pulse CO2 laser (400 J/50 ns) to produce a confined soft x-ray laser source. The amplification of the Balmer-alpha line (182.2 A(ring)) of the H-like carbon was observed using two different gain determination methods. The time- and space-integrated gain coefficient up to 2.2(+0.6/−1.1)cm−1 was obtained from the ratio of the axial to transverse line intensity. By using the C8H7Cl target, the gain coefficient increased up to 2.8(+0.6/−1.1)cm−1, inferring the radiative cooling effect. The experimental results agreed with the simulation results within a factor of 5. By reducing the cylinder mass by a factor of 20, the simulation result gave the long gain duration up to 20 ns in FWHM and large gain region up to 1.3 mm in radius.

    Notes: In continuation of the collaborative work between the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka and Max–Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching on x-ray confining cavities, we have performed a new series of experiments using the GEKKO-XII laser facility (4 kJ, 0.9 ns, λ=0.35 μm). The results from two experimental objectives will be presented. The first objective was the direct observation of the x-ray confinement effect in a cavity. A special design target allowed the simultaneous measurement of the x-ray flux emanating from a "closed'' cavity and an "open'' cavity. The second objective was the study of radiation transport mechanism in high- and low-Z materials. Thin foils of Au and Al were used as windows on diagnostic holes of x-ray confining cavities and their emission was compared to that of an open hole. A summary of the main results will be presented.

    Notes: Laser plasma interactions in a relativistic parameter regime have been intensively investigated for studying the possibility of fast ignition in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Using ultra-intense laser systems and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation codes, relativistic laser light self-focusing, super hot electrons, ions, and neutron production, are studied. The experiments are performed with ultra-intense laser with 50 J energy, 0.5–1 ps pulse at 1053 nm laser wavelength at a laser intensity of 1019 W/cm2. Most of the laser shots are studied under preformed plasma conditions with a 100 μm plasma scale length condition. In the study of laser pulse behavior in the preformed plasmas, a special mode has been observed which penetrated the preformed plasma all the way very close to the original planar target surface. On these shots, super hot electrons have been observed with its energy peak exceeding 1 MeV. The energy transport of the hot electrons has been studied with making use of Kα emissions from a seeded metal layer in planar targets. The details of ion acceleration followed by beam fusion reaction have been studied with neutron spectrometers. Laser ponderomotive force self-focusing and hot electron generation have been applied to a compressed core to see the effect of heating by injecting 12 beams of 100 ps, 1 TW pulses. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The irradiation uniformity of the GEKKO XII laser [C. Yamanaka et al., IEEE J. Quantum Electron. QE-17 1639 (1981)] has been improved by using partially coherent light with angular spectral dispersion and by improving power balance among the beams. Implosion experiments with the uniformity-improved GEKKO XII have been carried out in order to demonstrate stable formation of the hot spark. The isentrope of the compressed pellet shell is controlled by adding a prepulse to enhance the ablative stabilization of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability. The implosion dynamics has been investigated by x-ray imaging and neutron diagnostics. The experimental results are compared with the mix model prediction based on the one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation. The degradation of neutron yield is attributed to the low-mode asymmetry. Finally, recent results of planer target experiments on the ablative stabilization of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability are also presented. The observed linear growth rate was about 50% of the classical growth rate and was lower than that of the theoretical prediction, based on the Takabe formula combined with the one-dimensional simulation. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Fusion pellet implosion by laser-generated x rays was investigated by means of time-integrated spectroscopic measurements. Deuterium fuel was seeded with a small amount of Ar in order to determine the electron temperature and the density of the compressed fuel from, respectively, the emission intensity ratio and the broadening of the Lyβ (Ar17+1s-3p) and Heβ (Ar16+1s2-1s3p) lines. Comparison of the observed results with volume-averaged temperatures and densities obtained from one-dimensional (1-D) fluid-dynamic simulations showed large discrepancies at maximum compression. One possible explanation is that the fuel is stably compressed until the beginning of pusher deceleration by collision with a reflected shock wave from the pellet center, and that further compression during the deceleration phase is terminated in particular for heavy stagnation cases. Similar results were obtained for fusion output. Experimentally obtained neutron yields were close to those from the 1-D simulations at the beginning of the deceleration but a factor of 10–100 less than those expected at maximum compression. These results were examined in terms of shell disintegration in the acceleration phase and pusher–fuel mixing at the contact surface in the deceleration phase due to growth of initial perturbations of the pellet resulting from fluid instabilities. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We developed a two-dimensional spatial resolved high-speed UV sampling camera (HISAC) to study energy transport in laser-produced plasmas. The HISAC is composed of an optical bundle of fibers coupled to a streak camera to obtain a two-dimensional spatial resolution with a temporal resolution of less than a few 10 ps. This HISAC system was demonstrated in the experiments on inferred uniformity measurements of laser-ablation pressures as well as on energy transport in ultraintense laser-plasma interactions. Two-dimensional shock heating was temporally resolved in a hemispherical target, resulting in the distribution of the ablation pressure as a function of laser incidence angle. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Multicharged boron ions have been produced by a sputtering boride target in a 2.45-GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) source. The target material is immersed in an ECR argon plasma along the geometrical axis of the mirror field, and dc bias voltages are applied. Extracted boron ion currents increase as the target approaches the ECR zone formed at the bottom of mirror trap although the argon charge state deteriorates. The increase of boron ion current is coincident with that of the solid angle subtended by the target at the ECR zone. Measurement of the boron flux shows that the increase of boron atoms sputtered into the ECR zone causes this enhanced production. Ratio of total boron to argon ion current and that of B2+ to B+ current are about 10% and 10%–20%, respectively. The B3+ current can be detected at low microwave power (∼150 W). The isotopes of boron are clearly separated in natural abundance ratio. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A plasma source was developed for ion implanters capable of irradiating large-area substrates. Microwave discharge is performed by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR). A rectilinearly wide flux of magnetic induction is formed with two long permanent magnets with oppositely facing poles. The ECR zone formed inside a vacuum chamber is elongated in the direction along the pole faces. A waveguide slotted along its E plane is inserted between the magnets. The long slot radiates microwaves into the vacuum chamber through dielectric materials. These materials play the role of waveguide. Plasmas are uniformly generated in the direction along the slotted waveguide when it is terminated with a short plunger. This mechanism is analyzed by calculating radiation patterns of the slotted waveguide. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A toroidal electrostatic analyzer with a two-dimensional position-sensitive electron detector has been developed for the measurement of differential excitation cross sections in electron-ion collisions. The electron position is resolved simultaneously in the energy and angular dispersive directions of the analyzer. The present electron analyzer is specially designed with a narrow curved entrance slit and a wide exit slit coupled with an exit lens system after the toroidal deflector, which can give a wide energy dispersed range of 20% of the mean pass energy and a large angular range extending from 30° to 120°. The performance of the spectrometer has been studied by measuring the scattered electrons from Ar atoms and from a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface, indicating the usefulness of the present analyzer in electron spectroscopy. A brief description of the method for a spectrum transformation from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates is also presented. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
