Title: Diode-pumped solid state lasers (DPSSLs) for Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:461400

The status of diode-pumped, transverse-gas-flow cooled, Yb-S-FAP slab lasers is reviewed. Recently acquired experimental performance data are combined with a cost/performance IFE driver design code to define a cost-effective development path for IFE DPSSL drivers. Specific design parameters are described for the Mercury 100J/10 Hz, 1 kW system (first in the development scenario).
