THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT
Laser Development
The OEC resonantly stacks pulses from the coherently beam combined injection laser, increasing the pulse energy over 100,000x.
01
-
High power, high efficiency, single mode source
-
Seed laser & amplifiers are coherently beam combined for power scaling
-
Modular, reliable, pulse shaped, and wavelength tunable
-
CBC technology is proven in high energy lasers industrial & defense applications
02
-
Highly reflective mirrors in vacuum tube​ for highest performance
-
Locking the OEC to the injection laser stacks pulses over 100,000x
-
Extremely cost-effective and reliable method for generating high energy laser pulses
-
OEC technology is proven in LIGO gravitation wave detection applications
03
-
Efficient, reliable, cost-effective laser system designed for unique needs of dirrected energy defense and commercial fusion
-
Modular architecture comprised of several hundred beams, nano sec pulse duration, 1 – 10 Hz repetition rate
-
Broad bandwidth in aggregate for efficient, high gain, direct drive target excitation
-
Ignition for laser-based fusion was proven by LLNL National Ignition Facility in 2022
