Abstract

A fusion reactor uses optical pulse shaping to control a fusion reaction. A reactor assembly accepts a fluid fusion reaction fuel for energy generation, calibration, or diagnostic measurements, and provides for conversion of high-energy fusion products to current. The fusion reactor may operate in ambient conditions or at lower than ambient temperatures. The use of modular components may enable scaling for efficient commercialization. There is a need for approaches to controlling fusion reactions that are economical and can operate in conditions that are conducive to simple energy harvesting.
