Abstract :
In this paper we describe our conceptual design of an IFE laser driver based on a novel laser material Yb:S-FAP, or Yb3+-doped Sr5(PO4)3F. We will report our computer modeling results on the performance and costs of a diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL), as it is anticipated to operate in the context of an inertial fusion energy power plant
