Abstract

In October 1994 the Department of Energy granted KD1 approval to begin an advanced conceptual and preliminary design study for the construction of the National Ignition Facility (NIF). NIF will be a 192-beam laser that will represent the next generation of highpower facilities designed to study inertial confinement fusion (ICF). It will operate at 1.8 MJ, with peak-power levels of 500 TW at 351 nm. It will be constructed in collaboration with national and university laboratories and with major participation by U.S. industry. Potential laser-induced damage to optical components in the laser at both 1053 and 351 nm presents strict constraints on the final design of the system.
