Abstract
We describe a technique to form uniform solid D-2 or HD layers for ine rtial confinement fusion targets. Pumping the infrared (IR) collision induced vibration-rotation band in solid D-2 or HD redistributes the s olid into a relatively uniform layer depending on the IR intensity pro file. Measured redistribution time constants are near the calculated v alues. We have observed redistribution time constants in HD up to ten times smaller than the DT value.
