Abstract
Recent reviews of the US Inertial Confinement Fusion Program have suggested that the next logical step for the program is to proceed to an Ignition Facility using a laser driver of 1-2 MJ in a nominal 2-4 ns pulselength in the ultraviolet. A facility of this size must have a minimum number of highly standardized components and must operate at the highest feasible fluence to minimize beam area and cost.
