SBS PCM technique and its possible role in achieving IFE objectives

The Current Trends in SBS and phase conjugation

“…As a byproduct, a higher number of less energetic (thus easier to design) lasers could be employed. This idea was undergoing a gradual improvement in its theoretical design (Kalal et al, 2007b(Kalal et al, , 2008bOstermeyer et al, 2008a) and subsequently it started to be tested also experimentallyproving the principle (Kalal et al, 2008(Kalal et al, , 2010a.…”

“…It should be noted that in comparison with the previous design presented in (Kalal et al, 2007b) the seeding laser beam is now entering the reactor chamber through the same entrance window as used by the corresponding irradiation beam, thus improving the chamber robustness. In this new scheme, the custom-made mirror (CMM) design deserves to be discussed in more detail.…”

“…In this new scheme, the custom-made mirror (CMM) design deserves to be discussed in more detail. In fact, all what will be written in this respect is also valid for the design of the final mirror from (Kalal et al, 2007b), where no details were provided. Properties required from CMM are determined to a large degree by an issue connected with the non-converted higher harmonic which could penetrate the target chamber.…”
