Status of the MERCURY Laser

Description

The photon collider will require the development of high average-power short-pulse lasers to achieve the required rate of Compton backscattering. The MERCURY laser at LLNL has been under development as part of the Inertial Confinement Fusion program. Its basic parameters are well matched to the photon collider requirements and it is currently being commissioned
