摘要

Direct-drive ignition is most susceptible to multiple-beam laser-plasma instabilities, as the single-beam intensities are low (I_s ~ 10~(14) W cm~(-2)) and the electron temperature in the underdense plasma is high (T_e ? 3.5 keV). Cross-beam energy transfer is driven by multiple laser beams and can significantly reduce the hydrodynamic efficiency in direct-drive experiments on OMEGA (Boehly et al 1997 Opt. Commun. 133 495). Reducing the radii of the laser beams significantly increases the hydrodynamic efficiency at the cost of an increase in the low-mode modulations. Initial 2D hydrodynamic simulations indicate that zooming, transitioning the laser-beam radius prior to the main drive, does not increase low-mode nonuniformities. The combination of zooming and dynamic bandwidth reduction will provide a 30% effective increase in the drive energy on OMEGA direct-drive implosions. It was shown that two-plasmon decay (TPD) can be driven by multiple laser beams and both planar and spherical experiments were performed to study the hot electrons generated by TPD. The fraction of laser energy converted to hot electrons scales with the hot-electron temperature for all geometries and over a wide range of intensities. At ignition-relevant intensities, the fraction of laser energy converted to hot electrons is measured to decrease by an order of magnitude when the ablator material is changed from carbon-hydrogen to aluminum. The TPD results are compared with a multiple-beam linear theory and a nonlinear Zakharov model.
