New direct-drive laser target designs with KrF laser light take advantage of the shorter wavelength to lower the laser energy required for substantial gain...
Targets have been designed that produce moderate to high gain when directly driven by lasers. The intrinsic sensitivity of these targets to hydro instabilities...

A new laser fusion target concept is presented with a predicted energy gain of 125 using a 1.3 MJ KrF laser. This energy gain is sufficiently high for an...
We have developed a new direct-drive target design that has a predicted energy gain of 127 using a 1.3 MJ KrF laser and a gain of 155 using 3.1 MJ. The DT fuel...
