Gas-filled hohlraums are presently the base line ignition target design for the National Ignition Facility. Initial Nova experiments on gas-filled hohlraums showed that radiation temperature was reduced due to SBS and SRS scattering losses and that implosion symmetry had shifted compared with vacuum hohlraums and calculations. Subsequent single beam experiments imaging thermal x-ray emission showed the shift is due to laser-plasma heating dynamics and filarnentation in a flowing plasma. Experiments using a single beam have shown that scattering losses and effects of filamentation are reduced when the beam is smoothed with an random phase plate (RPP) or kinoform phase plate (KPP). Scattering is further reduced to less than 5% of the incident...
