Abstract
A simple method based on the laser beam pattern is proposed and numerically demonstrated to optimize a beam configuration for direct drive laser fusion. In this method, both the geometrical factor Gl and the single beam factor Bl are considered. By diminishing the product of Bl·Gl, the irradiation nonuniformity can be decreased to the order of 10−5. This optimization method can be applied on the design of irradiation systems for an arbitrary number of beams and any axially symmetric beam patterns.
