Inertial fusion using proven physics.
In prior US laser development programs, our team engineered and tested low-cost KrF lasers to project microsecond-length pulses of very large energies into space.
Innoven's key innovation is a method to time-compress pulses of laser light to nanosecond scale with extremely high optical quality at low cost.
Innoven's novel laser architecture can deliver tens of megajoules of high optical quality energy to inertial fusion targets at a cost-per-joule at least 20 times less expensive than current state of the art. This opens up a new high-energy design space which will allow high fusion gains to be achieved with confidence.
Innoven's approach uses a water-cooled, graphite-based moderator to convert neutron energy into thermal energy. The first-wall issue is addressed using materials that can tolerate the incident hot debris. The issue of tritium production is eased by targets that produce a high ratio of neutrons to burnt tritium. Excess neutrons are absorbed by a ceramic Li-6 breeder blanket that produces both tritium and extra thermal energy.
Innoven's STARBURST® is its custom manufacture of targets for inertial confinement fusion (ICF). STARBURST ENERGY® is its construction of ICF energy power plants and includes research and consulting in the field of ICF energy as well as design and development of ICF energy plants.
