Journal ArticleDOI
Ignition and high gain with ultrapowerful lasers
Max Tabak,James Hammer,Michael E. Glinsky,William L. Kruer,Scott Wilks,John Woodworth,E. Michael Campbell,Michael D. Perry,Rodney J. Mason +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a capsule is imploded as in the conventional approach to inertial fusion to assemble a high density fuel configuration, and a hole is bored through the capsule corona composed of ablated material, as the critical density is pushed close to the high density core of the capsule by the ponderomotive force associated with high intensity laser light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intense High-Energy Proton Beams from Petawatt-Laser Irradiation of Solids
R. Snavely,R. Snavely,M. H. Key,S. P. Hatchett,Thomas E. Cowan,Markus Roth,T. W. Phillips,M. A. Stoyer,E. A. Henry,T. C. Sangster,M. S. Singh,Scott Wilks,A. J. Mackinnon,A. A. Offenberger,Deanna Marie Pennington,K. Yasuike,A. B. Langdon,Barbara F. Lasinski,J. Johnson,Michael D. Perry,E. M. Campbell +20 more
TL;DR: An intense collimated beam of high-energy protons is emitted normal to the rear surface of thin solid targets irradiated at 1 PW power and peak intensity 3x10(20) W cm(-2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanosecond-to-femtosecond laser-induced breakdown in dielectrics
Brent C. Stuart,Michael D. Feit,S. Herman,Alexander M. Rubenchik,Bruce W. Shore,Michael D. Perry +5 more
TL;DR: A decreasing threshold fluence is found associated with a gradual transition from the long-pulse, thermally dominated regime to an ablative regime dominated by collisional and multiphoton ionization, and plasma formation.
Proceedings Article
Laser-induced damage in dielectrics with nanosecond-to-subpicosecond pulses
TL;DR: The application of chirped-pulse amplification to shortpulse lasers has led to a dramatic increase in the number of high-power sub-picosecond laser systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast ignition by intense laser-accelerated proton beams.

Ruhl,Francesco Pegoraro,Sergei V. Bulanov,E. M. Campbell,E. M. Campbell,Michael D. Perry,Michael D. Perry,Howard T. Powell +20 more
TL;DR: An intense proton beam to achieve fast ignition is proposed, produced by direct laser acceleration and focused onto the pellet from the rear side of an irradiated target and can be integrated into a hohlraum for indirect drive ICF.
