  • 惯性约束核聚变研究最近取得可喜成果, 美国国家点火装置NIF装置实验上聚变增益达到了输入激光能量的三分之二. 但是, 这一成果与人们的预期还有较大差距, 需要更深入研究激光与等离子体相互作用初期的动力学过程. 我们发展了一种新方法, 用单发长脉冲电子束团为探针, 测量激光等离子体内电磁场在整个等离子体持续时间内的演化过程. 实验中, 高压静电电子源产生能量0—100 keV 连续可调、脉宽10ns的电子束团. 1 J, 532 nm, 脉宽约4 ns的激光脉冲聚焦到银靶上, 激发产生等离子体. 电子束团穿过激光等离子体, 被其中的电磁场调制后成像, 单发电子束团时间宽度会覆盖整个等离子体持续时间, 通过分析电子束团的调制强度, 推得等离子体内电磁场的变化. 实验上成功实现了单发电子束团对整个激光等离子体内电场的诊断测量, 获得了演化曲线, 推算出实验条件下电子束通过路径上平均电场的最大值约为 7.74\times 10^5\;\mathrmV/\mathrmm .

     

    Laser fusion research needs much more high-time-resolved diagnostic technologies to study the dynamic process in laser plasma. We develop a special method and setup a device to measure the electromagnetic field in the plasma by using a single electron bunch. The measurement covers the whole-time window of the plasma process driven by a 3.6 ns laser pulse. An electron source can generate a single electron bunch with 0–100 keV energy and 10ns bunch length. A laser pulse with 1 J energy and 532 nm wavelength irradiates on the edge of a silver target, the target nearby the irradiated spot is ionized into plasma. At the beginning of plasma generation, the head of the electron beam begins to pass through the plasma. Electromagnetic field in plasma pushes the electrons transversely. A high voltage pulse at a good time is used to deflect the electrons linearly in the transverse direction to avoid overlapping of the different electrons on the scintillator downstream. By analyzing the deflection distances of the different electrons in this single bunch, we succesfully achieve an average electronic field along the trajectory in the plasma in the whole plasma process. The maximum value of this electronic field is 7.74\times 10^5\;\mathrmV/\mathrmm .
