Direct Laser-Driven Quasi-Isentropic Compression on HEAVEN-I Laser

The HEAVEN-I laser is used for direct drive quasi-isentropic compression up to -18 GPa in samples of aluminum without being temporal pulse shaped. The monotonically increasing loading is with a rise time over 17ns. The compression history is well reproduced by the ID radiation hydrodynamics simulati...

Summary:The HEAVEN-I laser is used for direct drive quasi-isentropic compression up to -18 GPa in samples of aluminum without being temporal pulse shaped. The monotonically increasing loading is with a rise time over 17ns. The compression history is well reproduced by the ID radiation hydrodynamics simulation. We find that a small shock precursor where the backward integration method cannot process is formed at the beginning of illumination. We compare the loading process of HEAVEN-I with the typical profile (concave down, prefect pulse shape), the results show that a typical profile can obtain more slowly rising and higher pressure, and the shock precursor has significant effects on temperature and entropy production. However, it is demonstrated that the HEAVEN-I is an excellent optical source for direct laser-driven quasi-isentropic compression, even if it produces more temperature rise and entropy than the typical profile.
