摘要

In this paper, the plasma-filling model was extrapolated to the case of a hohlraum driven by a shaped laser pulse, and this extended model was used to obtain an initial design of the hohlraum size. A density criterion of n(e) = 0.1 was used for designing hohlraums which have low plasma filling with maximum achievable radiation. The method was successfully used to design a half hohlraum size with a three-step laser pulse on SGIII prototype and a U hohlraum size with shaped laser pulse for ignition. It was shown that the extended model with the criterion can provide reasonable initial design of a hohlraum size for optimal designing with a two-dimensional code.
