2 Summary Multiple FM modulators in 1-D reduces imprint to 2-D SSD levels Multiple FM modulators in 1-D (1-D MultiFM SSD*) reduced complexity, i.e., no second dimension applied in a fiber within a rack-mounted unit, so layout impact is minimal because bulk optics are not needed takes advantage of multiple color cycles without the disadvantage of coherence maxima in the spectrum simulations show that imprint levels are comparable to 2-D SSD in direct drive and should apply to polar direct drive TC7998 *J.

4 Implementing 2-D SSD on the NIF will be expensive and technically challenging 2-D SSD is required for igniting 1-MJ and 1.5-MJ direct-drive designs* This result assumed single FM modulators Bulk optics modulators are required for the second SSD dimension space constraints in the NIF PAM s 1 THz (12 Å) of 2-D SSD requires dual-frequency triplers Simulations show that imprint from multiple FM SSD modulators in 1-D is comparable to 2-D SSD Less bandwidth is used; 65 GHz (8 Å) Potentially can get to.5 THz (6 Å) with a single-frequency-conversion crystal using multiple FM modulators in 1-D Testable on OMEGA EP TC85 * T.
