Blue-light-enhanced avalanche photodiode with a multi-finger grating structure for fluorescence detection.

The responsiveness of the photodetectors is critical to the accuracy of the fluorescent fiber optical temperature sensor. However, the current gain and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of traditional photodiodes (PDs) is low, which makes it difficult to meet the high-precision detection requirements of the system. In response to the above problems, this paper achieves a novel, to the best of our knowledge, multi-finger grating (MFG) avalanche photodiode (APD).

Design of transient front-end signal digitizer for x-ray detector in laser inertial confinement fusion facility.

In a laser inertial confinement fusion (ICF) facility, an x-ray diode (XRD) detector is mainly used for precise measurement of black cavity radiation flow. The rapid rising time of the XRD detector and the intricate radiation environment of the ICF facility have posed new requirements for the bandwidth and anti-interference performance of signal digitization technologies. The standards are tough for the current recording system to meet.

Calibration of the linear response range of x-ray imaging plates and their reader based on image grayscale values.

X-ray imaging plates are one of the most important X-ray imaging detectors and are widely used in inertial-confinement fusion experiments. However, their linear response range, which is the foundation of their quantitative data analysis, has not been sufficiently deeply investigated. In this work, we develop an X-ray fluorescer calibration system and carefully explore the linear response range of X-ray imaging plates.

The influence of laser clipped by the laser entrance hole on hohlraum radiation measurement on Shenguang-III prototype.

Measuring the x-ray flux exiting the target's laser entrance hole (LEH) is the most common diagnostic that quantifies the x-ray intensity inside the laser-driven hohlraum. However, this signal accounts for only a small portion of the incident laser power and thus is likely to be affected by unwanted x-ray background from non-target area, leading to an overestimation of the hohlraum drive. Unwanted emission might be produced when the laser light is clipped by the LEH (LEH clipping) because of a lack of clearance for laser spot, or with a laser spot comprising of discrete structure, or even with a poor pointing accuracy.

Recover soft x-ray spectrum using virtual flat response channels with filtered x-ray diode array.

A method for the recovery of soft x-ray spectra in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments is presented. Virtual detection channels with bandpass responses are obtained using linear combinations of the channel response functions of a filtered x-ray diode array and a weighted correction is introduced to improve the recovery. These virtual channels can be used to calculate radiation fluxes in some specific photon energy bands and hence to recover the spectrum of the whole photon energy range from 80 eV to 4.

A novel flat-response x-ray detector in the photon energy range of 0.1-4 keV.

A novel flat-response x-ray detector has been developed for the measurement of radiation flux from a hohlraum. In order to obtain a flat response in the photon energy range of 0.1-4 keV, it is found that both the cathode and the filter of the detector can be made of gold.
