A computational system, PARC has been developed and is under deployment to automate the laser setup process, and accurately predict laser energy, spatial and temporal shapes. PARC is based on MIRO computer simulation code. For each shot on LMJ, PARC determines the characteristics of the injection laser system required to achieve the desired main laser output and supplies post-shot data analysis and reporting. The presentation compares all characteristics (energy, spatial and temporal shapes, spot size, synchronism, wavefront correction and alignment on target) after amplification and after frequency conversion with predicted results or results computed with PARC. |
