Laser–plasma interactions for fast ignition [PDF]
In the electron-driven fast-ignition approach to inertial confinement fusion, petawatt laser pulses are required to generate MeV electrons that deposit several tens of kilojoules in the compressed core of an imploded DT shell. We review recent progress in the understanding of intense laser plasma interactions (LPI) relevant to fast ignition.

Study of the length and influencing factors of air plasma ignition time
When a high-energy laser acts on a film surface, plasma flashes of both the air and film can be generated simultaneously. However, when the conventional plasma flash method is used to identify thin film damage, there is a misjudgment problem caused by ...

Laser ignition of an optically sensitised secondary explosive by a diode laser [PDF]
As a green technology, laser ignition of a relatively insensitive secondary explosive has been experimentally investigated. The explosive, hexanitrostilbene (HNS), was doped with one of two optical sensitizers, carbon black or a laser absorbing dye ...

Laser ignition of iso-octane air aerosols [PDF]
Iso-octane aerosols in air have been ignited with a focused Nd:YAG laser at pressures and temperatures of 100kPa and 270K and imaged using schlieren photography. The aerosol was generated using the Wilson cloud chamber technique.

Ignition Rate Measurement of Laser-Ignited Coals [PDF]
We established a novel experiment to study the ignition of pulverized coals under conditions relevant to utility boilers. Specifically, we determined the ignition mechanism of pulverized-coal particles under various conditions of particle size, coal type, and freestream oxygen concentration.

Aspects of experimental investigations of laser plug ignition use at spark ignition engine
Nowadays, the necessity of pollutant emissions reduction brings to the fore new technologies developed for a better control of the combustion process. Ignition is the process of starting radical reactions until a selfsustaining flame has developed and ...
