Mitigation of Laser Imprinting with Diamond Ablator for Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Targets

Summary:We propose a novel scheme to mitigate the initial perturbation imprinting due to irradiation non-uniformity. Diamond was potential candidate for the ablator material for ICF targets due to its stiffness. The stiffness is very important parameter for imprint mitigation because the laser imprint is primary as a function of pressure perturbation due to lase irradiation non-uniformity. We measured the imprint amplitude of diamond foils and plastic (CH) foils. The experimental data suggest the initial imprinting is drastically mitigated for the diamond foils.
