Descripción
One of the technological developments needed to build a laser fusion power plant concerns the development and fabrication of final focusing components. These components are key elements for the plant operation because the target compression and ignition completely depends on the laser power delivery through perfectly synchronized well localized tiny spots. The major difficulty regarding the design of final focusing components stems from the hostile irradiation conditions they must face. We have developed for the first time a full conceptual design of final focusing components based on silica transmission lenses to operate on dry wall chambers. Neutron irradiation will lead to a non-uniform steady state temperature profile along the final lenses, which in turn will result in aberration with fatal consequences for the laser spots, unless a temperature control system is employed. Our design is based on a heat transfer fluid that keeps the temperature profile smooth and constant in all the operation phases (start up, normal operation condition and special operation conditions).
