One of the key issues of scientific feasibility experiments for fusion research is to construct a laser energy driver delivering enough output power for implosion. We have constructed a series of glass laser systems: Gekko II silicate glass laser (two-beam) 0.4 TW, Gekko IV phosphate glass laser (four-beam), 4 TW, and modules of Gekko XII, which will achieve 40 TW at full size. Laser glass is critical for delivering a large amount of power in a short duration without deterioration of the beam quality. Phosphate and fluorophosphate glasses have been investigated for an advanced laser design. Optical components have been developed which are expected to be very reliable. A system performance of lasers is also very important for experimental work.

The elongation of neodymium-glass laser-rods (LG 52 and LG 55 of Schott u. Gen., Mainz), the curvature and the tilting of their end surfaces have been measured by means of a MICHELSON-interferometer, a rotating-drum-camera and a laser illuminating the interferometer with short, isolated “spikes” during the pumping pulse of the rod. The pumping arrangements used for the tested rods are an elliptical cylinder and a rotational ellipsoid. A linear dependence of the observed deformation from the absorbed pumping energy is observed for this four-level material, so that the elongation of the rod and the curvature and the tilting angle of the surfaces can be expressed in terms of the pumping energy.The deformation measured in the elliptical cylinder pumping arrangement is compared with the calculated density of the absorbed energy within a laser rod illuminated by such an elliptical mirror. The main features of the observations are represented by this calculation.
