Subpercent-Scale Control of 3D Low Modes of Targets Imploded in Direct-Drive Configuration on OMEGA
Abstract
In a series of direct-drive implosions on OMEGA, multiple time resolved x-ray images were used to tomographically measure their 3-D modes 1, 2, and 3 at a convergence ratio of ~3. Results show that the target modes vary linearly with the laser modes and are not affected by the Rayleigh–Taylor growth or lateral heat transport. This indicates that the residual modes (resulting from physical effects including beam mistiming, mispointing, and laser energy calibration) are approximately constant between shots. Lastly, this demonstrates that the low-mode amplitudes can be mitigated within by adjusting the laser-energy balance to compensate the residual target modes.
