Abstract

A system includes a laser system operable to provide a laser beam along an optical path and a fusion chamber coupled to the optical path. The system also includes a neutron pinhole disposed along the optical path between the laser system and the fusion chamber and a neutron attenuation region disposed along the optical path between the laser system and the fusion chamber.
