Abstract

We have developed a monitoring system for the real-time characterization of cryogenic fuel layer in laser-fusion targets. This system is composed of an imaging interferometer, in addition to a normal target postion monitor with a single optical path. The fabrication process of a solid fuel layer in a plastic spherical shell is observed with this system. Solid fuel layer uniformity is displayed as concentric interference patterns. The distortions of the interference patterns can be interpreted as fuel layer nonuniformities.
