Summary form only given. The National Ignition Facility is designed to ignite inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) targets using 1.8 MJ of ultraviolet (351 nm) laser light generated by frequency tripling the output of 192 neodymium glass laser beams. The Beamlet laser system is a full scale scientific prototype of one of the 192 NIF beamlines. Because the estimated cost of the NIF facility is substantial ($1.1 billion) it is imperative that the performance be cost optimized. This implies operation as close as possible to power and energy extraction limits imposed by fundamental physical constraints. Control of beam quality in the NIF and the Beamlet prototype is enhanced through the use of a deformable mirror. Beamlet employs a sophisticated suite of laser diagnostic systems to measure beam quality.
