Description

This paper briefly reviews the basics of fusion and some of the major problems associated with building a 4 arms 1 kJ, 1 ns Nd:glass laser chain currently under development at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre(BARC), Bombay. With this laser, it is proposed to study the various laser plasma interaction processes and to obtain compression of glass micro balloon targets filled with DT gas.
