Title: Unconverted Light Management of the NIF-Wedged Lens Configuration

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/792095· OSTI ID:792095

This document provides information on the distribution of unconverted light in the National Ignition Facility (NIF) target chamber with the wedged final focus lens that has been adopted by the NIF project. It includes a comparison of the wedged lens configuration with the color separation grating (CSG). There are significant benefits to the wedged lens design as it greatly simplifies experiment design.
