Description
A simple device suitable for dispensing laser fusion target fuel cores is described. These fuel cores are typically 100-μm-diam glass or metal microballoons having a wall thickness of 1 μm. The microparticle dispenser mechanically acquires a single microballoon and dispenses it at a given position, eliminating the previously difficult and time-consuming hand process. Dispensing rates of 1/s have been achieved. A repetition rate of 1000/s should be possible using the described modifications
