• Laser Indirect Drive:
– (Even) smaller fill tubes, fill tube less capsules, shimmed capsules,
GDP oxidation barriers (e.g. ALD coatings)
• Laser Direct Drive:
– Multi layer polystyrene, fielding CFTAs on OMEGA, implementing
high resolution metrology
• Magnetic Direct Drive:
– LiH/LiD liners, trace tritiated foam, wetted foam concepts
• Alternative Concepts:
– Brominated capsules, wetted foam capsules, mandrel
development for high temp coatings, metrology though hi-Z
capsules
Future Developments
