Self-emission x-ray shadowgraphy provides a method to measure the ablation-front trajectory and low-mode nonuniformity of a target imploded by directly illuminating a fusion capsule with laser beams. The technique uses time-resolved images of soft x-rays(>1 ke V) emitted from the coronal plasma of the target imaged onto an x-ray framing camera to determine the position of the ablation front. Methods used to accurately measure the ablation-front radius(δ R= ±1.15 μm), image-to-image timing(δ( t)= ±2.5 ps) and absolute timing(δt= ±10 ps) are presented.Angular averaging of the images provides an average radius measurement of δ( Rav)= ±0.15 μm and an error in velocity of δV / V= ±3%. This technique was applied on the Omega Laser Facility [Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495(1997)] and the National Ignition Facility [Campbell and Hogan, Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 41, B39(1999)].
