Laser-plasma interaction physics for shock ignition

Laser-plasma interaction physics for shock ignition

In the shock ignition scheme, the ICF target is first compressed with a long (nanosecond) pulse before creating a convergent shock with a short (∼100 ps) pulse to ignite thermonuclear reactions. This short pulse is typically (∼2.1015–1016 W/cm2) above LPI (Laser Plasma Instabilities) thresholds. The...
