Harney, R C; Schipper, J F

The laser fusion effectiveness of various active and passive pulse-stacking schemes is investigated. Factors considered include efficiency, achievable rise-times, variety in output pulse shapes, simplicity of construction and operation, and compatibility with existing and proposed fusion laser systems. During the research phase of laser-fusion development a particular class of active pulse-stackers should be superior, although a passive system, such as the KMSF pulse-stacker, should be superior for use in a fusion reactor system.
