Title: Performance Measurements of the Injection Laser System Configured for Picosecond Scale Advanced Radiographic Capability

Conference ·

We have characterized the Advanced Radiographic Capability injection laser system and demonstrated that it meets performance requirements for upcoming National Ignition Facility fusion experiments. Pulse compression was achieved with a scaled down replica of the meter-scale grating ARC compressor and sub-ps pulse duration was demonstrated at the Joule-level.
