An ICF plant is designed to use nuclear-driven flashlamp-pumped solid-state lasers as fusion drivers. It is proposed to use a separated fission reactor with aerosol fuel to drive alkali metal excimer flashlamps as the pumping source for solid-state lasers. The first observation of nuclear-excited sodium excimer emission at 436 nm in a TRIGA reactor with 815 Torr of He-3 and 60 Torr of sodium vapor (at T = 924 K) is reported. The experiment demonstrates the feasibility of a nuclear-driven alkali metal excimer lamp. The compatibility of alkali metal excimers with different laser crystals is evaluated for driver efficiency. High overall laser efficiency ensures large fractional output power extraction from nuclear fusion by this plant. The suitability of laser crystals for the ICF plant is also presented.

Laser Model

A detailed theoretical model for the description of generation dynamics of diode laser longitudinally pumped solid‐state lasers with active and/or passive Q‐switching using traveling wave approach is presented. The results of numerical simulations and analysis show that the distribution of generated laser pulse intensity and the other laser parameters along the resonator is very inhomogeneous. Therefore, the widely used point laser model cannot give accurate results when inside the resonator there are active or passive elements which lead to the strong modulation of the generated pulse intensities.
