Abstract

The chemical oxygen-iodine laser is a strong candidate for the laser driver of an inertial-confinement fusion power plant. Whereas this laser has been operated with high efficiency in quasi-cw conditions, the decision to develop this laser for fusion is dependent on demonstration of high-efficiency short-pulse energy extraction. Major issues must yet be resolved concerning the kinetics and mechanisms of chemical and physical processes in the laser in conditions of relatively high iodine concentrations.
