1 OMEGA EP Short-Pulse Transmission Study Status Report J. KWIATKOWSKI, M. BARCZYS, M. BEDZYK, A. KALB, B. E. KRUSCHWITZ. C. MCMAHON, T. NGUYEN, A. L. RIGATTI, and M. SACCHITELLA University of Rochester, Laboratory for Laser Energetics Summary A diagnostic has been developed to characterize transmission losses in the OMEGA EP short-pulse transport paths As a result of pickoff location, on-shot energy diagnostics cannot measure losses from damage or target debris in the final transport mirrors and the off-axis parabolas (OAP s) Current on-target energy reports rely on estimated coating reflectivities of the final short-pulse optics The short-pulse ratiometer diagnostic was designed to provide accurate measurement and tracking of transmission performance through the final optics This diagnostic will be used to provide more-accurate on-target energy reports and for a more-deterministic method of specifying disposable debris shield usage Transmission measurements are now acquired before and after all short-pulse target shot days. E23891

2 Summary A diagnostic has been developed to characterize transmission losses in the OMEGA EP short-pulse transport paths As a result of pickoff location, on-shot energy diagnostics cannot measure losses from damage or target debris in the final transport mirrors and the off-axis parabolas (OAP s) Current on-target energy reports rely on estimated coating reflectivities of the final short-pulse optics The short-pulse ratiometer diagnostic was designed to provide accurate measurement and tracking of transmission performance through the final optics This diagnostic will be used to provide more-accurate on-target energy reports and for a more-deterministic method of specifying disposable debris shield usage Transmission measurements are now acquired before and after all short-pulse target shot days. E23891

3 Reported on-target energy is determined by the shortpulse diagnostic package near-field (SPDP NF) chargecoupled device (CCD) To short-pulse diagnostic package SPDP NF is calibrated to slide-in grating compression chamber (GCC) calorimeters GCC calorimeters OAP Tiled grating assemblies SPDP leaky mirrors Upper compressor Lower compressor Beam combiner OMEGA EP target chamber From main beamline Compressor alignment mirror 3 (CAM3) E23892 Transmission measured on-shot Transmission estimated based on expected coating performance Diagnostic (path) Currently quoted on-target energy is calculated using the SPDP NF measurement and estimated transmission of final optics. Backlighter (BL) OAP Sidelighter (SL) OAP OMEGA EP target chamber

4 Laser damage and target debris can significantly impact transmission of the final optics This is of particular concern on the OAP s because of their close proximity to target chamber center (TCC) Images of off-axis parabolas in use on OMEGA EP Laser damage to coating Imprint from laser cleaning effect Contamination from target shot debris E23893

5 A ratiometer technique has been implemented to characterize transmission through the final OMEGA EP short-pulse optics Output arm Infrared alignment table (IRAT) Alignment laser Injection Main beamline GCC SP transport optics R 1 R 2 Retro arm Transmission to be measured Retro Output Ratiometer diagnostic (intergrating spheres to fibers imaged onto CCD) CAM3 reflector in GCC Spherical reflector at TCC (Uncoated optics with Fresnel reflections) E23894 RetroR OutputR 2 2 Transmission " = Retro Output R1 R2 R R 1 1

6 Short-pulse ratiometer measurements are now acquired for all target campaigns Initial measurements are acquired in advance of shots as part of short-pulse transport and focusing process Measurements are taken after all target shot days process takes ~45 min after conclusion of shots Additional measurements required before and after disposable debris shield (DDS) installation/removal Data was gathered for seven shot days, starting in the first quarter of FY15.

10 Transmission data will be used to provide more-accurate on-target energy estimates and assess campaign impact on short-pulse optics A larger set of shot day measurements is required to validate the performance of the short-pulse ratiometer Transmission data are stored in shot database tables Results will be applied to reported SP On Target energy DDS use requirements for follow up campaigns will be derived from this data A similar diagnostic for OMEGA EP UV beams is in development.
