High-power pulsed lasers
Abstract
The development of large multibeam fusion lasers is discussed in detail. Basic concepts of the laser plasma system, a discussion of lasers that are useful for short pulse, high power operation, laser design constraints, optical diagnostics, and system organization are included.
