Abstract
An x-ray emission computed tomography technique has been demonstrated to diagnose the laser implosion uniformity of spherical targets. Three -dimensional images of compressed core were reconstructed from five pi nhole camera images obtained at different viewing directions by using an iterative algorithm. The uniformity of the heated plasma is estimat ed from the intensity distribution of the x-ray emitted from the surfa ce of the target.
