Abstract

A new scheme for a large-scale solid-state laser system for inertial confinement fusion application is proposed. Double-pass amplifiers composed of a large number of Nd:glass rods and flash lamps between them are used together with phase-conjugation cells and output stimulated Brillouin scattering pulse compressors. The results of the preliminary experimental tests are presented, and the advantages of the proposed scheme are discussed.
