High-density, direct-drive implosion experiments
- 1. Rochester Univ., NY (USA). Lab. for Laser Energetics
Description
A critical test of direct-drive laser-fusion has been conducted with the demonstration of DT compression to densities in the range of 100-200 times liquid density in experiments on the University of Rochester's OMEGA laser facility. The high-density cryogenic experiments used 351-nm laser pulses with energies of 1500-1800 J and pulse widths in the range of 600-700 ps. (author)
