High gain preamplifier module (PAM) engineering prototype for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser system

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5788
We describe recent results and developments in the preamplifier module (PAM) engineering prototype located in NIF's front end or Optical Pulse Generation (OPG) system. This prototype uses the general laser design developed on a physics testbed and integrates NIP type packaging as well as controls and diagnostics. We will present laser, mechanical and electrical hardware designed and built to date as well as laser energetics measurements.
