Front-end system of the Luch facility

Abstract

In 2001 a primary start-up of one channel of the four-channel "Luch" facility, a module of 128-channel facility has been realized. The facility intend for inertial confinement fusion. This paper presents the main results of work on creation and start-up of front-end system (FES) of "Luch" facility. The pulse of radiation with the energy up to 3 J and regulated pulse shape 1 - 10 ns in a square (36 x 36 mm2) beam was obtained at the output of FES.
