The role of sandwich holography in ICF (Inertial Confinement Fusion)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6729425
We demonstrate that holographic interferometry is applicable for documenting cryogenic fuel layers in several experimental systems. Sandwich holography as designed for our ..beta..-heating system can be readily adapted for use on larger, more complex systems by proper selection of short pulse lengths and high intensities for exposing the film. Reconstruction of the holographic pair requires only a simple laser and a micropositioner. It is our belief that sandwich holography holds high potential for documenting condensed fuel layers in several areas of the national ICF program. 4 figs.
