Abstract
In a system and method for controlling energy deposition on a surface of an Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) target when imploding. Providing one or more volume absorber/radiators to absorb the incident beam and reradiate x-ray radiation within the hohlraum containing the ICF target. Varying the reflectivity of the inner wall of the hohlraum wall or outer surface of the ICF target. Further suppressing non-uniformities in the x-ray radiation emitted from the one or more volume absorber/radiators upon one or more materials located on an outer surface of the ICF target or inner surface of said hohlraum.
