Focused Energy's acquisition of powerful lasers marks a significant step in developing commercial fusion energy, with the potential to produce net-positive fusion power.
These are some of the highest-average-power lasers in private company hands, costing nearly $40 million, and will support Focused Energy's ambitious fusion project.
The laser systems are technology demonstrators for a future fusion pilot plant, showcasing innovative approaches to overcome challenges in achieving sustained fusion reactions.
Currently, the most advanced inertial confinement fusion research is at the National Ignition Facility, which achieved net-positive fusion power but operates at a much lower frequency of trials.
