Smoothing by spectral dispersion using random phase modulation for inertial confinement fusion

Conference ·
OSTI ID:225053

Numerical simulations of beam smoothing using random phase modulation and grating dispersion are presented. Spatial spectra of the target illumination show that significantly improved smoothing at low spatial frequency is achieved while maintaining uniform intensity in the laser amplifier.
