Laser fusion target chamber design
Description
The SHIVA laser system, which is being built at LLL, consists of a 1.06 μm master oscillator whose 100 picosecond output pulse is beam split into 20 laser amplifier chains, each outputting 1 terawatt for a total of 20 TW with optical aberration of 1/2 wave. Before firing, the beams are automatically aimed at the target within 5 microradians and focused within 7 μm. Computer calculations predict significant thermonuclear burn will be achieved with this system
