Ramping from one LIFE station per year to 18 each year from 2040 onwards, the US could become 25 percent fusion-powered by 2050, he says. Component requirements The key to achieving commercial ...

Conceptual design for a LIFE engine and power plant based on National Ignition Facility (NIF)-like fusion targets and a NIF-like laser operating at an energy of 1.4 megajoules (MJ) at a wavelength of ...

Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in photonics, announced today that it will showcase its new products and ...

But it will, like Longview, use diode-powered solid-state lasers. ... By contrast, tritium, the heavy form of hydrogen needed for most other laser fusion concepts, has a half-life of only 12 years.

Designed for life science applications, the PLT5 488HB_EP cyan laser diode from ams OSRAM delivers 300 mW of output power at 488 nm. It offers five times the optical output and over 40% higher ...

The diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser was built to blast a hydrogen fuel pellet with a high-powered beam in order to trigger a fusion reaction – the same process that naturally occurs within ...
