The implosion experiment of spherical pellet and the physics investigation which is relevant to implosion process have been performed by using GEKKO XII glass laser since its commission in 1983. Simulation codes have been reinforced by introducing the experimental results and physics model to increase the credibility and quantitative accuracy in predicting the ignition and burn conditions. The fusion ignition and burn to achieve energy gain for reactor seems to be feasible.
