A Faraday rotation diagnostic was applied for the investigation of magnetic fields in plasma of 1-MA wire arrays and X-pinches. Laser-probing diagnostics at the Zebra generator include a four-channel polarointerferometer and a four-frame shadowgraphy. The Faraday rotation diagnostic consists of shadow and Faraday channels, shearing air-wedge interferometer, and an additional schlieren channel. The...
Summary form only given. A short pulse TW-class laser, "Tomcat" (5 J, 5 ps) became recently functional at the Nevada Terawatt Facility. It was coupled to the "Zebra" TW pulsed power generator (1 MA, 100 ns), creating a unique tool for high energy density plasma physics research. The status of ongoing experiments and technical aspects of the coupling will be presented
Summary form only given. A Faraday rotation diagnostic was developed at the Nevada Terawatt Facility (NTF) for investigation of magnetic fields in plasma from 1-MA wire arrays and X-pinches. Optical diagnostics at the NTF includes a four-channel polaro-interferometer and four-frame shadowgraphy. The polaro-interferometer consists of identical shadow and Faraday channels, shearing air-wedge interferometer,...
