| description | A series of laser fusion implosion experiments of plastic hollow shell targets was performed by using the Gekko XII glass laser in order to achieve the required fuel areal density for ignition. Introducing random phase plates to improve illumination uniformity, high-density compression of more than 600 times deuterium liquid density has been achieved. The implosion dynamics and symmetry were observed with a spatially resolved x-ray streak camera and an x-ray multiframing camera. The three-dimensional emission profile of the laser-heated plasma was reconstructed from the x-ray images by use of computed tomography and was compared with the laser illumination profiles. The areal density of the imploded core was measured by the neutron activation of a silicon tracer, the secondary reaction method, and the knock-on proton method. Although the measured density and areal density were consistent with those from 1-D hydrodynamic simulation, experimental neutron yields were significantly lower than those predicted by the simulation for convergence ratios larger than 20. This suggests that better implosion uniformity is required to create a hot spark. |
