New Technique Precisely Controls Temporal Pulse Shape in Inertial Confinement Fusion
May 8, 2007: The team of scientists William R. Donaldson, John Marciante, and Rick Roides of the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) has created a diagnostic and control system tool that precisely controls the temporal pulse shape in Inertial Confinement Fusion. One of the world's most powerful experimental laser facilities is currently the OMEGA at the LLE, which delivers more than 30 kilojoules of ultraviolet laser light to a spherical target consisting of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium.
