Abstract

Ultrafast two-dimensional (2D) x-ray imaging is required to investigate the dynamics of fast-heated core plasma in inertial confinement fusion research. A novel x-ray imager, consisting of two toroidally bent Bragg crystals and an ultrafast 2D x-ray imaging camera, has been demonstrated. Sequential and 2D monochromatic x-ray images of laser-imploded core plasma were obtained with a temporal resolution of 20 ps, a spatial resolution of 31 {mu}m, and a spectral resolution of over 200, simultaneously.

Ultrafast two-dimensional x-ray imaging with x-ray streak cameras for laser fusion research (invited)

Journal Article Shiraga, H; Miyanaga, N; Heya, M; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Ultrafast two-dimensional x-ray imaging is required for diagnosing laser-driven inertial confinement fusion plasmas. Image sampling technique with x-ray streak cameras can meet this requirement. Multi-imaging x-ray streak camera method (MIXS) with temporal and spatial resolutions of 10 ps and 15 {mu}m, respectively, has been developed and successfully utilized for diagnosing the uniformity and heating process of the imploded core plasmas. The two-dimensional sampling-image x-ray streak camera method is also presented. Two types of spectroscopic applications of the MIXS have been developed recently. One is multichannel MIXS, which has three MIXS channels with various spectral responses for time-resolved two-dimensional temperature measurementmore »« less

Ultrafast x-ray imaging with sliced sampling streak cameras

Journal Article Huang, T; Nakai, M; Shiraga, H; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

The ultrafast imaging methods in sliced sampling streak cameras are investigated. It is shown that the sampling-image x-ray streak camera has potential advantages in highly time-resolved and space-resolved imaging for imploded core plasmas. An optimized sampling method is presented to acquire two-dimensional spatial resolutions {<=}10 {mu}m and temporal resolution {approx}10 ps, within a field of view {approx}100 {mu}m and a time range {approx}100 ps.

Multi-imaging x-ray streak camera for ultrahigh-speed two-dimensional x-ray imaging of imploded core plasmas (invited)

Journal Article Shiraga, H; Fujioka, S; Jaanimagi, P; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Ultrahigh-speed two-dimensional x-ray imaging by using an image sampling technique on an x-ray streak camera has been developed and applied to observe the imploded core plasmas of inertial confinement fusion targets. Various one-dimensional and two-dimensional sampling techniques of two-dimensional images were compared, and the multi-imaging x-ray streak camera (MIXS), was found to be one of the most successful schemes. MIXS was used in an implosion experiment of a shell target with a cone for fast ignition at the OMEGA laser facility. Nonuniform structure in imploded core plasma dynamics was clearly observed with temporal and spatial resolutions of 10 ps andmore » 10-20 {mu}m, respectively.« less

Monochromatic x-ray radiography for areal-density measurement of inertial fusion energy fuel in fast ignition experiment

Journal Article Fujioka, Shinsuke; Fujiwara, Takashi; Tanabe, Minoru; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Ultrafast, two-dimensional x-ray imaging is an important diagnostics for the inertial fusion energy research, especially in investigating implosion dynamics at the final stage of the fuel compression. Although x-ray radiography was applied to observing the implosion dynamics, intense x-rays emitted from the high temperature and dense fuel core itself are often superimposed on the radiograph. This problem can be solved by coupling the x-ray radiography with monochromatic x-ray imaging technique. In the experiment, 2.8 or 5.2 keV backlight x-rays emitted from laser-irradiated polyvinyl chloride or vanadium foils were selectively imaged by spherically bent quartz crystals with discriminating the out-of-band emissionmore »« less

One- and two-dimensional fast x-ray imaging of laser-driven implosion dynamics with x-ray streak cameras

Journal Article Shiraga, H; Heya, M; Nakasuji, M; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

One- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) x-ray imaging techniques with x-ray streak cameras have been developed and utilized for investigating implosion dynamics of laser fusion targets. Conventional streaked 1D images of the shell motion of the imploding target was recorded together with the time-resolved 2D multi-imaging x-ray streak images of the core shapes on the same x-ray streak camera. Precise comparison of the core dynamics between the experimental and simulation results was performed with an accuracy of 30 ps by fitting the trajectories of the x-ray emission from the imploding shell. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
