Abstract:
The experiments and diagnostic techniques for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) on the Shenguang laser facility since 2000 are reviewed.Many experiments were conducted on the Shenguang II (SG-II) and Shenguang III prototype (SG-IIIYX) laser facilities.The SG-IIIYX was completed in 2006.The experiments on SG-II included several physics experiments on topics such as hohlraum physics,implosion physics,fluid dynamical instability, opacity,and shocks driven by radiation.The experimental results indicated that significant achievements were acquired on SG-II.The ICF experiments were conducted on SG-IIIYX after it was finished.The first experiment,which included Holhraum and implosion physics,was performed in 2007.The integrated diagnostic systems for SG-II and SG-IIIYX have been built,as well as the X-ray monochromatic imaging instrument,Thomson probe, transmission grating without higher order diffraction,and so forth.These characteristic diagnostic techniques are important for improved measurement accuracy.
