Description
A FEL based energy driver for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is proposed. Construction of such a driver becomes to be possible due to application of a novel FEL amplifier scheme - multi-channel, multi-stage FEL amplifier with diaphragm focusing line. Driving beam for the FEL amplifier is generated by the linear induction accelerator. Laser system operates at the radiation wavelength of 0.5 μm with the total energy of laser flash of 1.5 MJ, pulse duration of 4 ns and repetition rate of 40 pulses per second. Total efficiency (i.e. conversion efficiency of net electrical power to the radiation power) of the proposed system is equal to 12%. The brightness of the output radiation is 1022 W/cm2 sr. The scale and the cost of the FEL based energy driver are close to those of the heavy ion fusion driver. 8 refs., 2 figs., 4 tabs
