Abstract
To achieve high compression of direct drive targets it is principally important to guarantee highly homogeneous illumination of the target. Compressions of approximately 104 require degree of homogeneity of 1 - 2%. It is suggested that in the high-power laser facilities being developed and projected now (Omega Upgrade, NIF, LMJ, Iskra- 6) various methods of intensity distribution smoothing will be used to achieve such homogeneity. In this report the efficiency of some smoothing methods is considered using 1D numerical modeling.
