Abstract

The proposed 100TW laser system to be built at AWE is based upon LLNL technology currently under development for the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The optical configuration of the AWE system is somewhat different to that for the NIF and presents different problems. This paper illustrates some of the problems and proposed solutions.
