在激光驱动惯性约束聚变研究中, 激光等离子体相互作用是影响点火的重要原因之一; 为了抑制激光等离子体的不稳定性, 诸多光束匀滑技术应运而生, 并得到广泛应用。为了获得更匀滑的焦斑, 提出集束多频调制光谱色散匀滑(SSD)技术, 并对其进行了理论研究; 该技术采用多束激光集束聚焦打靶, 利用单频调制单光束, 利用不同的频率调制不同的子束。结果表明, 该技术可以有效抑制多光束干涉导致的强度调制, 改善了远场光强分布的均匀性, 并且在采用更接近实际情况的色循环数时, 具有比传统多频调制SSD技术更好的匀滑效果。

为提高靶面光强，高功率激光驱动装置中常采用多路激光组束打靶，目前主要采用2×2集束的方式。集束聚焦系统中使用的透镜可分为离轴透镜和非离轴透镜,采用非离轴楔形透镜的集束聚焦系统在理想条件下可获得很好的焦斑质量。建立了2×2集束聚焦系统的光传输模型，并仿真研究了实际安装调试过程中各种误差对其焦斑造成的影响。结果表明，反射镜角度和透镜平移对系统的焦斑质量影响很大，需要对其进行精密调试；透镜安装角度和焦距误差对系统的焦斑质量影响较小，现有条件比较容易满足。本文研究可提高研究人员对多光束相干合成集束方案的认识，对实际系统的安装调试有一定指导意义。

Large aperture high-power laser drivers usually focus the high power laser beams in 2×2 quads to the target chamber center in order to increase the light intensity on the target plane. The large aperture wedged focus lenses are the core components in the focus system of quadruplets of beams, and it is thought possible to use four two-dimensional off-axis wedged focus lenses as four sub-lenses to make up a larger aperture wedged focus lens in form to focus the four beams. Given that the large aperture two-dimensional off-axis wedged focus lenses are processed and used difficultly, the wedged focus lenses are divided into three categories: the two-dimensional off-axis wedged focus lenses, the onedimensional off-axis wedged focus lenses, and the non-off-axis wedged focus lenses. On the basis of the three modes of the wedged focus lenses and the corresponding specific incidence angles of each sub-beam, the three focus schemes for the 2×2 beam array are put forward to comparatively research the light intensity distribution on the target plane. Research results show that from a perspective of the coherence among the four sub-beams, the phase factors of each sub-beam respectively introducing by the three focus systems with the two-dimensional off-axis, one-dimensional off-axis, and non-off-axis wedged focus lenses are asymmetric, asymmetric and symmetric inside each sub-beam, and symmetric, asymmetric and symmetric among the four sub-beams. Therefore, the wave front consistency of the four sub-beams decreases in the order of the focus systems with the non-off-axis, two-dimensional off-axis, and one-dimensional off-axis wedged focus lenses. The focus schemes with the non-off-axis wedged focus lenses for 2×2 beam array can get the narrowest main-lobe, the strongest peak-value intensity, the highest energy concentration ratio on the target plane, followed by the one-dimensional off-axis and two-dimensional off-axis wedged focus lenses. The off-axis mode of the wedged focus lenses not only increases the complexity in the course of processing and using, but also increases the main-lobe size, decreases the peak-value intensity and the energy concentration ratio, which obtains a weaker focusing characteristics than that of the non-off-axis mode of the wedged focus lenses. Research results can provide an important reference for the design of the focus system in the target area of high-power laser drivers.
