The lab aims to realize fusion power generation using lasers.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking on the challenge of realizing laser fusion power generation
The Shigemori Lab aims to realize laser-driven fusion power generation, and conducts research and development on ignition and burn as well as on laser processing.
The lab belongs to the Institute of Laser Engineering at Osaka University, and is a cooperating chair of the Division of Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering in the Graduate School of Engineering.
It works on laser fusion core plasma, reactor systems and their component technologies, and the development of fuel targets.
Its experiments use equipment such as the Gekko XII large laser irradiation facility at the Institute of Laser Engineering.
Key terms
- Laser fusion
- An approach that uses laser light to trigger fusion reactions. This lab aims to use it for power generation.
- Gekko XII
- A large glass laser facility at the Institute of Laser Engineering. It is used for laser irradiation experiments.
- High-power laser
- A laser with high output power. This lab also uses it in research on materials processing.
