Optics damage inspection for the NIF

Conference ·
OSTI ID:289272

Two optics damage inspection systems will be implemented on the National Ignition Facility (NIF), one to inspect optics within the laser and transport sections and the other to inspect the final optics at the target chamber. Both systems use dark-field imaging technology to enhance resolution of defects. Details of each system design will be provided. A functional optics damage inspection system prototype, using dark-field imaging technology, is currently in operation on the Beamlet laser. This system provides us with the opportunity to measure non-ideal optical surfaces expected to be present on NIF. Prototype details and performance will be presented.
