Achieving Adequate Beam Quality for Commercial Laser Fusion Reactors.
Abstract
In this paper we discuss the laser beam smoothing techniques for obtaining the highly symmetric illumination required for high gain laser fusion. We review the various beam smoothing techniques and discuss the constraints placed on these techniques if they are to be implemented on commercial fusion reactors.
