Scientific paper

It is shown that the nonlinear growth of beam modulation produced by self-focusing is proportional 1/2 exp B where B is the intensity dependent phase retardation (measured in radians) accumulated by the beam. This exponential growth of beam modulation in the baseline frequency conversion/focusing optical train limits the system performance for short pulse (tau less 2 ns), one third micron operation. One micron and one-half micron performance are limited more by the one micron drive available to frequency conversion KDP array than self-focusing.
