From: Laser-induced fusion in ultra-dense deuterium D( 1): Optimizing MeV particle emission by carrier material selection
Quote: A Nd:YAG laser with an energy of <200 mJ per each 5 ns long pulse at 10 Hz is used at 532 nm. The laser beam is focused at the test surface with an f = 400 mm spherical lens. The intensity in the beam waist of (nominally) 30 lm diameter is relatively low, 4 <10e12Wcm 2 as calculated for a Gaussian beam On Mon, Jan 23, 2017 at 7:36 AM, Brian Ahern <[email protected]> wrote: > Holmlid has left out the most important experimental detail. > > > What is the laser like?
