Abstract

Laser technology developments, including construction of a 286-TW Ti:Sapphire laser with a focused intensity of 1021W/cm2, installation of the TIL, prototype of the SG-III, and operation of the SG-II laser are presented. Results of the experiments on hohlraum physics, indirect-drive implosion, Thomson scattering, EOS, and X-ray laser are briefly introduced. Simulations and a code package, LARED, for target physics are outlined.
