In general, the alignment system must establish and maintain the correct relationships between beam position, beam angle, laser component clear apertures, and the target. The operational requirements of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) place tight constraints upon its alignment system. International Nuclear Information System (INIS)īoege, S.J. NIF pointing and centering systems and target alignment using a 351 nm laser source The concept for this target assembly has evolved over many years with earlier versions used to test the Mars Observer Laser Altimeter (MOLA), the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), and the Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) space-based instruments.
1) has been developed to measure the boresite alignment of LRO's Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument at the spacecraft level.

Stanley Riris, Haris Cavanaugh, John Liiva, Peter Rodriguez, MichaelĪ compact and portable target assembly (Fig. Nearly 2000 various target foils and films were delivered for Naval Research Lab (NRL) and UR/LLE in FY97.Target Assembly to Check Boresight Alignment of Active Sensors More than 1600 glass and plastic target capsules were produced for LLNL, LANL, SNLA and University more » of Rochester/Laboratory for Laser Energetics (UR/LLE). Over 700 gold-plated hohlraum mandrels were fabricated and delivered to LLNL, LANL and SNLA. = at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and Sandia National Laboratory Albuquerque (SNLA). This report summarizes and documents the technical progress made on these tasks. We also contributed cryogenic engineering support and developed concepts for NIF cryogenic targets. We are part of the National Cryogenic Target Program and support experiments at LLNL and LANL to generate and characterize cryogenic layers for these targets. The ICF program is anticipating experiments at the OMEGA laser and the National Ignition Facility (NIF) which will require targets containing cryogenic layered D2 or deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel. Only minor documentation tasks remain to be done in FY00.
All components of the OCTS were procured, fabricated, assembled, tested, and shipped to UR/LLE. During FY99, the GA/Schafer portion of the GA/Schafer-UR/LLE-LANL team effort for design, procurement, installation, and testing of the OMEGA Cryogenic Target System (OCTS) that will field cryogenic targets on OMEGA was completed. This report describes these target fabrication activities and the target more » fabrication and characterization development activities that made the deliveries possible. We fabricated a device to polish NIF-sized beryllium shells and prepared a laboratory for the safe operation of beryllium polishing activities. We also delivered various target foils and films for Naval Research Lab (NRL) and UWLLE in FY99. We produced more than 1380 glass and plastic target capsules over a wide range of sizes and designs (plus over 300 near target-quality capsules) for LLNL, LANL, SNL, and University of Rochester/Laboratory for Laser Energetic (UR/LLE). We fabricated and delivered over 1790 hohlraum mandrels and numerous other micromachined components to LLNL, LANL, and SNL. A portion of the effort on these tasks included providing direct ''Onsite Support'' at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and Sandia National Laboratory (SNL). During this period, GA and our partner Schafer Corporation were assigned 17 formal tasks in support of the ICF program and its five laboratories. This report documents the technical activities of the period Octothrough September 30, 1999. Department of Energy since December 30, 1990. General Atomics (GA) has served as the Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Target Component Fabrication and Technology Development Support contractor for the U.S.
