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. These technologies will play a direct role in adding an important capability to the field of high-energy-density science and inertial-confinement fusion research in support of the nation's stockpile stewardship mission.
