Abstract The french laser megajoule (LMJ) is designed to produce, in laboratory, fusion energy with a significant gain. Such an energy could be achieved by imploding a small capsule filled with a DT mixture. Fusion experiments produce a large emission of neutrons, x-rays, laser scattered light and debris which impose a first wall protection for the laser target chamber made of a low Z and refractory material. As boron carbide appeared to be a good candidate, among others, it was decided to evaluate the potentiallity of plasma sprayed B4C coatings for this application. This paper deals with the optimization of plasma spraying conditions to built up coatings which satisfie specifications required for the first wall. Coating general properties are presented as well as outgassing performances. Specific x-ray and laser tests were performed to evaluate coating behavior close to real LMJ working conditions.

The effect of small-scale wavefront perturbations on laser radiation is investigated at flux densities close to maximum. The model and calculated results for the effect of the degree of radiation coherence on the laser radiation brightness as functions of flux density and length and shape of the active medium are presented. For the restricted coherence of the laser radiation, the rate of small-scale perturbation growth is shown to decrease in theactive medium. The principal optical scheme of a laser for fusion experiments, with the maximum radiation brightness, is given as an example.
