Notes:
The fast ignitor scheme for inertial confinement fusion requires forward driving of the critical density surface by light pressure (hole boring) to allow energy deposition close to the dense fuel. The recession velocity of the critical density surface has been observed to be v/c=0.015 at an irradiance of 1.0×1019 W cm−2 at a wavelength of 1.05 micron, in quantitative agreement with modeling. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
