摘要
Two novel target designs are presented for using direct laser ablation (direct drive) at the National Ignition Facility to assemble and ignite cryogenic fuel using the existing indirect-drive beam configuration. These are the first ignition-relevant "polar" direct-drive target designs to include the physical effects of cross-beam energy transfer (CBET) between laser beams and nonlocal electron heat transport. A wavelength-detuning strategy is used to increase absorption and reduce scattered-light losses caused by CBET, allowing for ignition-relevant implosion velocities. Two designs are described: a moderate-adiabat sub-ignition alpha-burning design with a D-T neutron fusion yield of 1.2 x 10(17) and a lower-adiabat ignition design with a gain of 27. Both designs have moderate in-flight aspect ratios, indicating acceptable levels of hydrodynamic instability during the implosion. Published by AIP Publishing.
