OMEGA EP Experimental Systems

Cutaway illustration of the OMEGA EP target chamber (TC) and the GCC (partial view) looking south. The TC selection mirror (upper right) can be aligned to direct the temporally compressed beam to enter the backlighter port (blue) or sidelighter port (red). A related geometry enables simultaneous backlighting and sidelighting within the OMEGA EP chamber. The TC selection mirror may also be reoriented to direct the beam to the OMEGA TC (not shown).
