Abstract

On December 5, 2022, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) National Ignition Facility (NIF) made history, demonstrating fusion ignition for the first time in a laboratory setting. A review of the major large optic technologies over the past several decades is presented that have enabled the National Ignition Facility laser to both routinely operate >2MJ and achieve fusion ignition.
