Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an ever-present challenge at laser facilities such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The major source of EMI at such facilities is laser-target interaction that can generate intense electromagnetic fields within, and outside of, the laser target chamber. In addition, the diagnostics themselves can be a source of EMI, even interfering with themselves. In this paper we describe EMI generated by ARIANE and DIXI, present measurements, and discuss effects of the diagnostic-generated EMI on ARIANE's CCD and on a PMT nearby DIXI. Finally we present some of the efforts we have made to mitigate the effects of diagnostic-generated EMI on NIF diagnostics.
电磁干扰(EMI)是诸如国家点火装置(NIF)等激光设施中一直存在的挑战。此类设施中电磁干扰的主要来源是激光与靶的相互作用,这种相互作用会在激光靶室内外产生强电磁场。此外,诊断设备本身也可能成为电磁干扰源,甚至会干扰自身。在本文中,我们描述了ARIANE和DIXI产生的电磁干扰,展示了测量结果,并讨论了诊断设备产生的电磁干扰对ARIANE的电荷耦合器件(CCD)以及DIXI附近的光电倍增管(PMT)的影响。最后,我们介绍了为减轻诊断设备产生的电磁干扰对NIF诊断设备的影响所做的一些工作。
