Abstract

High-space-resolving information of hotspot electron temperature is a foundation for further research on physical processes of implosion in inertial confinement fusion. This work proposed a novel high-space-resolving electron temperature detector, which is based on the bremsstrahlung radiation mechanism of the implosion hotspot and uses two-channel Kirkpatrick-Baez microscopes. In this novel detector, an optical quasi-coaxis method was used to eliminate the strong impact of the view field difference on the high space resolution and correctness of the electron temperature diagnosis, and a compound KB microscope method was proposed to reduce the number of spherical reflectors and save space.
