Abstract
Abstract LONG-WAVELENGTH LASER SYSTEM FOR HEATING LOW-DENSITY PLASMA TO HIGH TEMPERATURES. IN ONE EMBODIMENT, MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR REPEATEDLY RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING LONG-WAVELENGTH LASER LIGHT IN SUCCESSIVE STAGES TO FORM A LASER-LIGHT BEAM PATH THAT REPEATEDLY INTERSECTS WITH THE EQUILIBRIUM AXIS OF A MAGNETICALLY CONFINED TORODIAL PLASMA COLUMN FOR INTERACTING THE LASER LIGHT WITH THE PLASMA FOR PROVIDING CONTROLLED THERMONUCLEAR FUSION. EMBODIMENTS FOR HEATING SPECFIC LINEAR PLASMAS ARE ALSO PROVIDED.
