Abstract

The main goal of this report is to analyze the feasibility to use phase conjugation (PC) cell as an optical element in Megajoule class lasers for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF). Phase conjugation has the potential for relieving the fabrication requirements to any optical elements and for compensation of residual thermooptical distortions. The key problems for phase conjugation are the dynamic range over which phase conjugation operates efficiently, the reflected energy limit, the effect of the laser light bandwidth, and the possibility to mount PC subsystem into a real megajoule laser. The influence of depolarization is very important also.
