Abstract

Abstract

Currently, laboratory created energy density of laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is extremely close to that for ignition, while the divergence between experiment and simulation is increasing. One of the key issues is the lack of advanced knowledge of laser-hohlraum coupling process, which has shown the complexity of hohlraum environment. Optical Thomson scattering (OTS) becomes the standard technique for diagnosing the ICF hohlraum plasma parameters, due to its capability of providing unperturbed, local and precise measurement. The development of OTS in China is closely related with the Shenguang series laser facilities, on which most of the ICF experiments are carried out. In recent years, 4ω(263 nm) Thomson scattering technique has been set up on Shenguang-III prototype and 100 kJ-level laser facility, the corresponding results help the understanding of ICF physics. In the near future, several novel methods will be developed, for high-precision diagnostics of ICF ignition hohlraum plasmas and the research of new physical phenomena.
