Design of optical system for fusion reaction-rate measurement
Based on a plastic scintillator and an optic streak camera
a measuring system for fusion reaction-rate was designed
then the working princile and design method of the measuring system were addressed in detail. A piece of fused silica window was set just behind the plastic scintillator to protect optical elements from darkening after a long time exposure in scatted X rays and the ultraviolet crystals and other ultraviolet glass were selected to ensure the high system transmission. Furthermore
the image plane of the optical system was put onto a photocathode of the streak camera directly to remove the aperture non-matching of input optic system of the streak camera. Finally
a field mirror was put on the first image plane to reduce the max diameter of optical element from 160 mm to 120 mm. The designed optical system has a total length of 2 660 mm
magnification of 3∶1 and its final lens is
F
/0.667 and transmission is 67%. Moreover
the time dispersion of the optical system is less than 7.3 ps. These results meet the experimental needs of different neutron yields and good experimental results have been obtained in a laser targeting experiment.
