Abstract
The 30-TW GEKKO-MII short pulse laser is completed and is used for high fie ld physics studies, including a basic fast ignitor research. The second har monic (2 omega) backscattering shows critical surface recession due to the laser photon pressure. A few hundred protons and deuterons are observed. Th e 100-TW GEKKO-XII short pulse laser, a petawatt laser module, is construct ed to study a feasibility of fast ignition of an imploded target. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
