We are investigating diode pumped alkali lasers (DPAL) as a potential high-energy laser source. A 10-W class cesium DPAL has been developed. Since DPAL involves problems such as chemical reactions and ...

With ongoing efforts in Europe, the United States, and Asia on power production through inertial fusion, intense work has been focused on proposing and studying Diode Pumped Solid State Lasers (DPSSLs ...
