Two-plasmon-decay instability stimulated by dual laser beams in inertial confinement fusion by C.-W. Lian, Y. Ji, R. Yan, J. Li, L.-F. Wang, Y.-K. Ding, J. Zheng

“…Two-plasmon-decay instability (TPD) poses a critical target preheating risk in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion. In this paper, TPD collectively driven by dual laser beams consisting of a normal-incidence laser beam (Beam-N) and a large-angle-incidence laser beam (Beam-L) is investigated via particle-in-cell simulations. …”

Analytical Expression of the Beam-Plasma Particles Distribution Function Effect on the Electromagnetic Instability Growth Rate in Strongly Coupled Plasmas by Fatemeh Nejadtaghi, Mohammad Mahdavi, Saeid Hassan pour, Hengameh Khanzadeh, Ali Tavassoli

“…The beam-plasma particles distribution function is one of the parameters which plays an important role in the energy-traveling mechanism of the relativistic electrons generated by the laser-plasma interaction in the Inertial Confinement Fusion Plasma. This paper investigates an analytical expression of the beam-plasma particles distribution function effect such as the Kappa, Semi-relativistic Maxwellian and bi-Maxwell distributions on the Weibel electromagnetic instability growth rate in strongly coupled plasmas under the low-frequency wave condition. …”

Surface Contaminant Control Technologies to Improve Laser Damage Resistance of Optics by Xiaofeng Cheng, Xinxiang Miao, Hongbin Wang, Lang Qin, Yayun Ye, Qun He, Zhiqiang Ma, Longbiao Zhao, Shaobo He

“…The large high-power solid lasers, such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF) of America and the Shenguang-III (SG-III) laser facility of China, can output over 2.1 MJ laser pulse for the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. Because of the enhancement of operating flux and the expansion of laser driver scale, the problem of contamination seriously influences their construction period and operation life. …”
