Abstract

We present our results on developing a diagnostic complex for high-precision characterization of the parameters of laser-fusion microobjects, such as microspheres and cryogenic targets (the microobject size is 1–2 mm). The complex operates based on the principle of tomography. The complex consists of (a) the scanning system providing a set of shadow projections of a microobject in the visible range of radiation and (b) specially developed software for 3D reconstruction of the microobject from the set of projections. The spatial resolution of the optical system is 1 µm for a probing-radiation wavelength of 490 nm. The distinctive features of the diagnostic complex are (1) operation with both free-standing and mounted targets and (2) the possibility of scanning the targets from room to cryogenic temperatures. The operation of the complex was demonstrated in the reconstruction of polystyrene microspheres by a large set (80–90) of shadow projections at room and cryogenic temperatures.
