Abstract

Prior to the shutdown of the Mercury KrF inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) laser test bed, a series of experiments were conducted to study the feasibility of broadening the spectrum of a high-power laser by parametrically driven Raman amplification of pulses having spectral components that overlap the rotational Raman transitions in air. Broad bandwidths are believed to be advantageous for ICF because they limit the growth of plasma instabilities.
