Schematic of the stages of inertial confinement fusion using lasers. The blue arrows represent radiation;
orange is blowoff; purple is inwardly transported thermal energy.
#Laser beams or laser-produced X-rays rapidly heat the surface of the fusion target, forming a surrounding plasma envelope.
#Fuel is compressed by the rocket-like blowoff of the hot surface material.
#During the final part of the capsule implosion, the fuel core reaches 20 times the density of lead and ignites at 100,000,000 ˚C.
#Thermonuclear burn spreads rapidly through the compressed fuel, yielding many times the input energy.
