Vb. Rozanov, LASER-DRIVEN FUSION - RESEARCH ON LASER-TARGET DESIGN AND CONCEPTS ATTHE LEBEDEV-PHYSICS-INSTITUTE, Quantum electronics, 27(12), 1997, pp. 1063-1072
An account is given of the main stages and of the results of theoretic
al and conceptual research on the problem of laser thermonuclear targe
ts, carried out in the Division of Quantum Radiophysics of the Lebedev
Physics Institute beginning from the 1960s to the present. These targ
et are intended for generation of thermonuclear energy in an amount ex
ceeding the initial losses.
