Description
With the aim to set up Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) driver, we develop the properties of the Ytterbium doped materials and the problems met when designing such a system: essentially thermal management and ASE gain depletion. We after present the experimental results obtained using sesquioxide Yb3+ doped ceramics at cryogenic temperature. We also propose a solution for minimizing the ASE problem.
