Outline of Final Research Achievements

In a future laser fusion reactor, the final optics made with multi-coated mirror will be used. To avoid degradation by neutrons, the final optics will be replaced during short halt of laser operation. Since bundled beam will be used for the ignition beam, it is hard to exchange mirrors in a short time. Use of liquid mirror allows automatic recovery of damaged surface and stabilizes deformation of base materials.
We experimentally simulate vibration of surface during laser irradiation using Hg. Results indicated that the surface vibration dumps in 100ms after laser irradiation with the fluence of 2/3 of the damage limit. This result shows the liquid metal mirror can be used in future laser fusion power plants.
