Image Data Processing For Laser Fusion Experiments

On-line computer-aided data acquisition and processing system has been developed and applied to the laser fusion experiments by the four beam "Gekko IV" glass laser. The system was designed as a modular-distributed system in both hardware and software. For the image data acquisition, vidicon-TV degitizer systems were adopted. Contour plots, horizontal or vertical cut and 3-D display of the image are possible on a graphic terminal.
