Review on Recent Developments in Laser Driven Inertial Fusion
Figure 1
Generation of blocks of deuterium plasma moving against the neodymium glass laser light (positive velocities to the right) and moving into the plasma interior (negative velocities) at irradiation by a neodymium glass laser of 1018 W/cm2 intensity onto an initially 100 eV hot and 100 μm thick bi-Rayleigh profile with minimum internal reflection. The electromagnetic energy density ()/(8) is shown at the same time of 1.5 PS after start of the constant irradiation.
