In the laser plasma laboratory of the Lebedev Physical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences we are developing an automation system for the powerful Nd:glass laser installation Delphin designed for laser fusion experiments. This system contains power conditioning and alignment and laser parameter diagnostic subsystems. The automation system includes PDP-11-type computers connected by a serial highway with a CAMAC apparatus interfacing control points and drive units of the installation. A power conditioning subsystem controls the capacitor batteries for 700 flashlamps (IFP-20000 type) of the multichannel amplifier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
