The Mercury Project: A kW Scale Yb:S-FAP Laser for Inertial Fusion Energy and Target Experiments

2007

The laser is nearing completion with demonstration of 73% frequency-conversion efficiency, deformable mirror operation that generated a 4-times diffraction limited spot, and commissioning of an advanced front end to be installed on the main laser.
