Simulation of high-intensity laser beams propagating through a plasma under National-Ignition-Facility conditions. The image on the right shows the effect that temporal beam smoothing has in significantly reducing the beam spray due to laser-plasma instabilities. [C. Niemann, L. Divol, D. H. Froula, G.
