Abstract
With ongoing efforts in Europe, the United States, and Asia on power production through inertial fusion, intense work has been focused on proposing and studying Diode Pumped Solid State Lasers (DPSSLs). Such drivers should be able to deliver 1 to 10 kJ at a repetition rate in the 10-Hz range and a wall-plug efficient nearing 10%. Recent achievements will be presented with emphasis on 100 J-class prototypes, which are currently being built.
