Physical Review E, 2005
An approach for producing a large quantity of neutrons is proposed. It involves compression of a fuel foil and confinement of the resulting plasma between two intense laser pulses. It is shown that two circularly polarized laser pulses of amplitude a = 7 illuminating a deuterium-tritium foil of areal density 3.3 x 10(18) cm(-2) can produce about 4.2 x ...

Physics Today, 1978
Laser-driven fusion is one approach to a long-term solution to the world's energy supply problems, based on a virtually inexhaustible fuel source, deuterium from water. It is also, along with magnetically confined fusion, one of the most difficult scientific tasks ever undertaken.

PHYSICS AND THE ENERGY PROBLEM — 1974: The Proceedings of the American Physical Society Topical Conference on Energy, 1974
The extremely high power achievable with lasers offers the possibility of producing fusion in laser heated and inertially confined pellets of thermonuclear fuel. Special techniques of laser pulse forming properly matched to pellet size allow energy multiplication to occur with lasers which are presently technologically feasible.

Monochromatic Backlighting as a Laser-Fusion Diagnostic
Journal of X-Ray Science and Technology, 1995The case of an x-ray radiographed (backlit) image of a CH-shell laser-fusion target to be imploded by the Omega Upgrade laser system is studied. The goal is to obtain information on the conditions at peak compression, where the experimental constraints due to target self-emission and required spatial resolution are maximal.

CLEO 2024
With the science of laser fusion proven, the transition into a working power plant still is a challenge of similar size. One key aspect is the development of efficient, high-repetition rate lasers that meet the demand to ignite a million fusion capsules a day.

15th Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 1977
Since the suggestion by Dawson, Hertzberg, and Kidder that high-energy CO/sub 2/ lasers could be used to heat magnetically confined plasma columns to thermonuclear temperatures, a great deal of theoretical and experimental work has been performed. In this paper we first review the experiments on the basic laser-plasma interaction phenomena, in which ...

Laser instrumentation: A microtenaculum for laser tissue fusion
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1988AbstractPrecise tissue apposition and edge eversion are essential for tissue fusion with the CO2 laser. A microtenaculum has been designed to accomplish this without the placement of horizontal mattress stay sutures. This instrument permits tissue orientation and approximation for primary laser fusion as well as for the repair of small gaps present ...

IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 1973
Laser-driven fusion, although requiring the use of an unusual source of pulsed energy, depends in its main features on well known and verified results of hydrodynamics and nuclear physics. Under optimized conditions these allow energy breakeven by the fusion process to occur under conditions which appear to be well within the range of present ...

Scientific American, 1986
Operation of four of the worlds largest laser systems, and lines of investigation opened up by the systems, make it possible to be guardedly optimistic about the scientific feasibility of demonstrating laser fusion within the next 10 years. Major advances in tow disciplines are primarily responsible for this optimism.

It is well known that the enormous energy released from the sun and the stars is due to thermonuclear fusion reactions, and scientists have been working for over 40 years to devise methods to generate fusion energy in a controlled manner. Once this is achieved, one will have an almost inexhaustible supply of relatively pollution-free energy.
