Transmission final lenses in the HiPER laser fusion power plant: system design for temperature control

Abstract: The European laser fusion project HiPER is developing technologically feasible components for a laser fusion power plant with an evacuated dry wall chamber which is likely to operate with a shock ignition scheme and direct targets. One of the key components is the final optics. In this work, we consider silica transmission final lenses and address the major issues regarding the unavoidable neutron irradiation they must withstand. For pre-commercial power plants (150 MJ target yield at 10 Hz) a distance of 16 m… Show more

“…Compaction is triggered by the initial collective atomic motion and colour centre generation by bond breaking. Understanding the intrinsic mechanisms of damage in silica is of technological relevance due to the importance of silica as the material of choice in many applications subject to irradiation, either unavoidably due to its application function 47 49 or intentionally to tailor its properties 50 . In this context, the results reported in this paper constitute a significant contribution.…”

“…Mediante este diseño se puede mantener constante y uniforme la temperatura de la lente evitando la aparición de aberraciones. 11 ................... 5 Figura 3.1: Evolución térmica obtenida de resolver la ecuación de transferencia del calor en coordenadas cilíndricas para el caso de una muestra de sílice infinita a la que se le impone en una región cilíndrica de radio a = 3.5 nm una energía cinética equivalente a un poder de frenado electrónico . Las líneas verticales corresponden a la densidad lineal de centros de color de la superficie de una muestra irradiadas con iones de la energía indicada.…”

“…1,10 En este proyecto se ha propuesto una cámara esférica de 6.5 metros de radio interno en el que se incidirá sobre el blanco con 48 haces láser colocados simétricamente y ópticas finales basadas en lentes de transmisión biconvexas situadas a 16 m del centro con dimensiones de 75 × 75 cm 2 , siendo visible un cuadrado de 60 cm de lado. 1,10,11 Otros esquemas plantean distintas posiciones y tamaños de lentes, como el caso de LIFE 12 que propone usar lentes de Fresnel situadas a 17 m y con unas dimensiones de 48 × 48 cm 2 . En fusión láser se emplean dos métodos de iluminación, directa (p.ej.…”
