Helium as a Surrogate for Deuterium in LPI Studies

Table 2

Comparison of laser configurations covered in this study including a plot illustrating the typical laser pulse train. T = 0 is defined as the half-height point of the rising edge of Z-Beamlet’s main pulse. For more details about the focal intensity distribution with or without the two applied phase plates, see Geissel et al. [3].

Config.	Phase plate	Prepulse energy (J)	Main pulse energy (J)	Main pulse width (ns)
1	—	350 ± 100	1600 ± 300	2
2	DPP750	120 ± 50	1400 ± 300	3.5
3	DPP1100	150 ± 100	1200 ± 500	3.5
