Abstract

Progress in high power short pulse laser using a chirped-pulse amplification technique[1] is opening the possibility of an additional heating concept "fast ignition" [2] in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF). In the concept, the compressed fuel with a high fuel density created by a conventional laser implosion is heated by an ultra-intense short pulse laser (a few ps) before a core is disassembled (< a few ten ps). The concept will give us reduction of the required laser energy and the implosion uniformity for ignition in ICF.
