Optical testing on the NOVA laser fusion program
Description:
The optical testing part of the program requires characterizing index homogeneity of large blanks of fluorophosphate glass, optical surface figure and quality of large polished optics and performance of optical coatings such as antireflection, high reflectors and polarizing beam-splitters. For this purpose, a large effort is being expended to upgrade the optical test facilities at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in preparation for the NOVA optics procurement. (MOW)
