    Experimental irradiation of plasmonic nanostructured polymer targets, including boron-containing thin foils and advanced composite structures, has been systematically investigated under high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses to explore resonant plasmonic field enhancement for improving the performance of laser-driven ion acceleration and aneutronic fusion efficiency. Experimental campaigns at...

    The NanoPlasmonic Laser Induced Fusion Energy (NAPLIFE) project aims to avoid pre-detonation and instabilities by rapid and simultaneous ignition of the whole target. The project plans fusion by regulating the laser light absorption via resonant nanorod antennas implanted into a hydrogen rich polymer target. Up to now this is the only project using this method. In part of the tests,...

    Rapid progress in laser technology and insights from astrophysics and relativistic heavy-ion collisions have opened new possibilities for fusion [1, 2]. When nanoantennas are implanted into a target and resonate with the laser frequency, electrons form bunches within them. The motion of these bunches generates a nanoplasmonic wave. Particle-in-cell simulations are not typically employed to...

    Enhanced Energy Transfer in Resonating Gold Doped Matter Irradiated by Infrared Laser
    Abstract
    Recent advancements in laser-induced fusion have revealed that resonating dopes in matter can enhance energy absorption from laser waves, facilitating fusion initiation, particularly in laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF). We numerically model and investigate the interaction of intense...
