Beschreibung

Constructing an Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) power plant faces major challenges, especially in managing high-power drive lasers subject to intense thermal loads and dynamic beam distortions. These issues degrade performance and exceed the capacity of current localized control methods, underscoring the need for integrated, systemic solutions. The Adaptive Laser Architecture Development and INtegration (ALADIN) project addresses this by shifting from localized to global beam control via Adaptive Laser Architecture (ALA). This presentation will introduce the ALADIN project, its foundational concepts, and its path toward achieving globalized beam control for IFE applications.
