Arbitrary Control and Characterization of Laser Waveforms and Interactions at Picosecond Resolution over Long Record Lengths

Ryan Muir | 18-ERD-029

Executive Summary

We are exploring several technologies that may enhance the ability of users to control laser waveforms while making related improvements to laser diagnostics. By extending the basic tools of high-energy-density science and inertial confinement fusion, we are supporting the goal of achieving a secure, and resilient U.S. energy infrastructure.
