Development of target fabrication for laser-driven inertial confinement fusion at research center of laser fusion

As the basic conditions for laser inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research, the targets are required to be well specified and elaborately fabricated. Because of the characteristics of the targets, the research and fabrication process is a systematically tough task, which needs fundamental and deep insights into film deposition, mechanical machining, precise measurement and assembly, etc. As a...

Computer controlled cw laser spectrometer.

A computer controlled cw UV-visible dye laser source for spectroscopic use has been developed. Computer control facilitates both continuous single-frequency scanning and data acquisition. With 4 W of Ar-ion laser pump power, such a spectrometer can generate in excess of 1 W of cw single-frequency power in the visible and up to 1 mW in the UV by using extracavity nonlinear optical mixing. The la...

Study of laser ablation using nano-second laser pulses

 In this paper, the laser ablation process based on the irradiation of nanosecond pulsed lasers on a copper target surface in the presence of Helium gas is studied. The dynamical behaviors of the generated plasma in the helium gas and evaporated copper at the atmospheric pressure are examined using a laser pulse, laser wavelength of and intensity of 7×1010W/cm2. A one-dimensional thermal model ...

New Laser Fusion and Its Gain by Intense Laser

The feasibility of a new approach of laser fusion in plasma without implosion has been proposed and is discussed using an intense laser. The cross section of the nuclear reaction is increased by enhancing the penetrability of nuclei through the Coulomb barrier. In this approach, an intense laser field of more than 100 PW was required to distort the Coulomb barrier to obtain enough penetrability...
