What is the laboratory for Laser Energetics?

“For more than 50 years, the Laboratory for Laser Energetics has played a pivotal role in framing and solving key challenges in inertial confinement fusion and high-intensity laser science and technology,” says Stephen Dewhurst, the vice president for research at Rochester.

What is a laser ignition system?

Laser ignition system A laser ignition system was employed, consisting of a diode laser (SP-1064–25 W), a water-cooled heat sink, and a series of collimating and focusing lenses, to achieve ignition of solid fuels.

Is laser beaming a viable energy transfer paradigm?

Transferring energy without transferring mass is a powerful paradigm to address the challenges faced when the access to, or the deployment of, the infrastructure for energy conversion is locally impossible or impractical. Laser beaming holds the promise of effectively implementing this paradigm.

What is DSi in a 1075 nm laser heating process?

In these simulations, dSi = 180 µ m. Our parametric investigation of the 1075-nm laser heating process is presented in Fig. 8, which shows the maximum conversion efficiency (left axis) and the PV body temperature (right axis) as a function of laser power, for dSi = 180 and 500 μ m, respectively.

What is Leonardo Electronics doing to improve directed energy power?

Figure: Leonardo Electronics is innovating in both pump lasers and beam directors to improve directed energy power and reduce weight. As a top DoD priority, bringing directed energy to production viability will require systems and collaborative thinking among major US Government prime contractors and their suppliers.

What are the primary laser ignition parameters?

The primary laser ignition parameters, such as penetration depth and ignition delay time, were compared. The model's geometric and flow parameters were consistent with those of the experiment. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results.
