Abstract Focused Energy is a new startup company with the goal of developing laser-driven inertial fusion energy for electrical power production. The combines results from decades fundamental research in confinement at universities and national laboratories flexibility speed company. has chosen direct-drive, proton fast ignition approach to reach ignition, burn high gain as most promising approach. Located Austin/US Darmstadt/Germany, supported by science community private investment paving...
We report on a study of laser plasma instabilities with 527 nm pulses in an intensity range 0.5×1013−1.1×1015 Wcm−2 and parameters entering regime that is relevant for direct drive inertial confinement fusion. Using the kilojoule high repetition rate L4n at Extreme Light Infrastructure—Beamlines, more than 1300 shots were collected, onset growth stimulated Brioullin scattering (SBS) Raman (SRS) studied confidence level. The measured intensities are 0.2×1014 SBS 1.4×1014 SRS. At maximum...
We report on the commissioning of a full aperture backscatter diagnostics station for kilojoule, nanosecond high repetition rate L4n laser operating at wavelength 527 nm Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) - Beamlines, Dolni Brezany, Czech Republic. scattered back from laser-plasma interaction into cone final focusing lens is captured and split different channels to measure signatures plasma instabilities stimulated Brillouin scattering, Raman two plasmon decay with respect energy, its...
