Progress in realizing long duration laser runs ceramic honeycomb primary emitter Gas buildup in the diode Degradation of the emitter Foil failure due to debris and/or plasma arcs in A-K gap Previous Limits to Laser Durability (< 10 k shots) March 2006 HAPL meeting Hibachi Solved with new all-carbon emitter. As much as 25 k shots (reported at Aug 2006 meeting) Foil MAY have been solved with high transparency anode screen Screen

One Possible mechanism limiting foil durability Electron emission from Anode HypothesisRationale Micro particles can stick to the foilEmission is an explosive process. See marks on foil Voltage reverses in diodeSeen on Voltage monitors after the main pulse Voltage reversal causes microSee what may be "cathode spots" on particles to emit electronspressure foil Emission can be an explosive processKnown fact. Can puncture hole in highly stressedExperiments with an anode foil show pressure foilevolution of this process First experiments with mesh, (90%-95% effective transmission) show a) Minimal degradation in laser energy (i.e. transmission OK) b) First Implementation lasted several multi-thousand shot runs
