Technology Assessment & Commercial Milestones

German-American laser ICF company pursuing the proton fast-ignition scheme: a long-pulse compression beam plus a short-pulse beam that generates a proton beam to ignite the assembled fuel. Thesis: Decoupling compression from ignition gives a higher gain at lower driver energy than NIF-style central hot spot. Key engineering bottlenecks: kJ-class picosecond ignitor laser; Proton beam focusing onto a mm-scale hot spot.
