Certain damage observed on the optics in NOVA is consistent with a phenomenon akin to holographic imaging. (NOVA is the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's 10-beam Nd:glass laser used for inertial confinement fusion research.) The minimization of similar damage in next-generation laser systems is sought by first identifying the sources for these holographic images, specifying glass parameters appropriately, and staging the amplifier chain to circumvent the problem. The insight gained has lead to an explanation for a 20-year-old puzzle.
在国家点火装置(NOVA)中观察到的光学元件上的某些损伤与一种类似于全息成像的现象相符。(国家点火装置是劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室用于惯性约束聚变研究的10束钕玻璃激光器。)通过首先确定这些全息图像的来源、适当地指定玻璃参数以及对放大器链进行分级以规避该问题,来寻求在下一代激光系统中最小化类似损伤。所获得的见解为一个存在了20年的谜团提供了解释。
