Title: Suppressing Two-Plasmon Decay with Laser Frequency Detuning

Abstract

Three-dimensional laser-plasma interaction simulations show that laser frequency detuning by an amount achievable with current laser technology can be used to suppress the two-plasmon decay (TPD) instability and the corresponding hot-electron generation. For the plasma conditions and laser configuration in a direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosion on the OMEGA laser, the simulations show that ~0.7% laser frequency detuning is sufficient to eliminate TPD-driven hot-electron generation in current experiments. In conclusion, this allows for higher ablation pressures in future implosion designs by using higher laser intensities.

Two-plasmon decay mitigation in direct-drive inertial-confinement-fusion experiments using multilayer targets

Journal Article Follett, R. K. ; Delettrez, J. A. ; Edgell, D. H. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Multilayer direct-drive inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) targets are shown to significantly reduce two-plasmon-decay (TPD) driven hot-electron production while maintaining high hydrodynamic efficiency. Implosion experiments on the OMEGA Laser used targets with silicon layered between an inner beryllium and outer silicon-doped plastic ablator. A factor of five reduction in hot-electron generation (> 50 keV) was observed in the multilayer targets relative to pure CH targets. Three-dimensional simulations of the TPD driven hot-electron production using a laser-plasma interaction code (LPSE) that includes nonlinear and kinetic effects show excellent agreement with the measurements. As a result, the simulations suggest that the reduction in hot-electron productionmore »« less

Hydrodynamic simulations of long-scale-length two-plasmon-decay experiments at the Omega Laser Facility

Journal Article Hu, S. X. ; Michel, D. T. ; Edgell, D. H. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Direct-drive-ignition designs with plastic CH ablators create plasmas of long density scale lengths (L{sub n} {>=} 500 {mu}m) at the quarter-critical density (N{sub qc}) region of the driving laser. The two-plasmon-decay (TPD) instability can exceed its threshold in such long-scale-length plasmas (LSPs). To investigate the scaling of TPD-induced hot electrons to laser intensity and plasma conditions, a series of planar experiments have been conducted at the Omega Laser Facility with 2-ns square pulses at the maximum laser energies available on OMEGA and OMEGA EP. Radiation-hydrodynamic simulations have been performed for these LSP experiments using the two-dimensional hydrocode draco. The simulatedmore »« less

We report that multiple-beam experiments relevant to direct-drive inertial confinement fusion show the importance of nonlinear saturation mechanisms in the common-wave two-plasmon-decay (TPD) instability. Planar target experiments on the OMEGA laser used hard-x-ray measurements to study the influence of the linear common-wave growth rate on TPD driven hot-electron production in two drive beam configurations and over a range of overlapped laser intensities from 3.6 to 15.2 x 10¹⁴ W/cm². The beam configuration with the larger linear common-wave growth rate had a lower intensity threshold for the onset of hot-electron production, but the linear growth rate did not have a significantmore »« less

Hot-electron generation by 'cavitating' Langmuir turbulence in the nonlinear stage of the two-plasmon-decay instability

Journal Article Vu, H X ; DuBois, D F ; Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The kinetic reduced-description particle-in-cell simulation technique has been applied to study the nonlinear stage of two-plasmon-decay (TPD) instability in an inhomogeneous plasma driven by crossed laser beams. The TPD instability is found to be a prolific generator of 'cavitating' Langmuir turbulence. Langmuir 'cavitons'-localized longitudinal electric fields, oscillating near the local electron plasma frequency, trapped in ponderomotive density depressions-collapse to dimensions of a few electron Debye lengths, where the electric field energy is collisionlessly transferred to electron kinetic energy. The resulting hot electrons can attain instantaneous temperatures up to 100 keV with net suprathermal heat flux out of the system ofmore »« less

Origins and Scaling of Hot-Electron Preheat in Ignition-Scale Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Experiments

Journal Article Rosenberg, M. J. ; Solodov, A. A. ; Myatt, J. F. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Planar laser-plasma interaction (LPI) experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) have allowed access for the rst time to regimes of electron density scale length (~500 to 700 μm), electron temperature (~3 to 5 keV), and laser intensity (6 to 16 x 10¹⁴ W/cm²) that are relevant to direct-drive inertial confinement fusion ignition. Unlike in shorter-scale-length plasmas on OMEGA, scattered-light data on the NIF show that the near-quarter-critical LPI physics is dominated by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) rather than by two-plasmon decay (TPD). This difference in regime is explained based on absolute SRS and TPD threshold considerations. SRS sidescatter tangentialmore »« less
