Simulations of wavelength-multiplexed holography for single-shot spatiotemporal characterization of NIF’s advanced radiographic capability (ARC) laser

2021 
We simulate the use of a newly developed single-shot wavelength-multiplexed holography-based diagnostic, STRIPED FISH, to fully characterize the as-delivered laser pulses of the National Ignition Facility’s Advanced Radiographic Capability (NIF-ARC) laser. To that end, we have performed simulations of the NIF-ARC pulse incorporating (a) a time-integrated spatial-profile measurement and a complete temporal-intensity-and-phase measurement using a frequency resolved optical gating, but without any spatiotemporal pulse characterizations, and (b) simulated first-order spatiotemporal distortions, which could be measured on a single shot if a STRIPED FISH device were deployed.
