Abstract

The National Ignition Facility (NIF), being constructed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), comprises 192 laser beams. The lasing medium is neodymium in phosphate glass with a fundamental frequency (1ω) of 1.053μm. Sum frequency generation in a pair of conversion crystals (KDP/KD*P) produces 1.8MJ of the third harmonic light (3ω or λ=0.35μm).
