Cross-beam energy transfer (CBET) results from two-beam energy exchange via seeded stimulated Brillouin scattering, which detrimentally reduces ablation pressure and implosion velocity in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion. Mitigating CBET is demonstrated for the first time in inertial-confinement implosions at the National Ignition Facility by detuning the laser-source wavelengths (±2.3 Å UV) of the interacting beams. We show that, in polar direct-drive, wavelength detuning increases the equatorial region velocity experimentally by 16% and alters the in-flight shell morphology. These experimental observations are consistent with design predictions of radiation-hydrodynamic simulations that indicate a 10% increase in the average ablation pressure.
交叉束能量转移(CBET)是由种子受激布里渊散射引起的两束光能量交换导致的,这会不利地降低直接驱动惯性约束聚变中的烧蚀压力和内爆速度。在美国国家点火装置的惯性约束内爆中,首次通过使相互作用光束的激光源波长失谐(±2.3 Å紫外线)来减轻CBET。我们表明,在极向直接驱动中,波长失谐使赤道区域速度在实验上提高了16%,并改变了飞行中的壳层形态。这些实验观测结果与辐射流体动力学模拟的设计预测一致,该模拟表明平均烧蚀压力提高了10%。
