High-repetition-rate high-energy lasers
proposednot assessed
Lasers of megajoule class that fire several times per second at high wall-plug efficiency and for billions of shots.
Scope
In: laser drivers for inertial fusion and the diode-pumped solid-state, gas and fibre approaches to them. Out: continuous-wave industrial lasers and ultrashort-pulse lasers of low energy.
