In present CO2 laser systems for fusion research, single-pulse amplification systems are adopted, and the maximum efficiency of these systems is a few percent.1,2 Higher efficiencies ≳10 %, which are required for reactor drivers, could be achieved by adopting a system of multipass amplification in a single-gain media of large volume.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
