TL;DR: The direct-drive, laser-based approach to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is reviewed from its inception following the demonstration of the first laser to its implementation on the present generation of high-power lasers as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature of light scattering in dental enamel and dentin at visible and near-infrared wavelengths
TL;DR: The light-scattering properties of dental enamel and dentin were measured at 543, 632, and 1053 nm and their scattering and absorption coefficients and the scattering phase function were deduced by comparing the measured scattering data with angularly resolved Monte Carlo light- scattering simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 Laser Inhibition of Artificial Caries-like Lesion Progression in Dental Enamel
TL;DR: Inhibition of caries progression of from 40% to 85% was achieved over the range of laser conditions tested, comparable with inhibition produced in this model with daily fluoride dentifrice treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the OMEGA laser system, a 30kJ, 351nm, 60-beam direct-drive laser-fusion system, is described along with the status of its construction and the plans for system activation.
