TheLong Path laser was an early high energyinfrared laser at theLawrence Livermore National Laboratory used to studyinertial confinement fusion. Long path was completed in 1972 and was the first ICF laser ever to useneodymiumdopedglass as the lasing medium. It was capable of delivering about 50joules of light at 1,062 nm onto a target in ~10ns pulses. It did not usespatial filters to smooth the beam after amplification stages and thus had a fairly poor beam quality. Long path was mostly used to investigate laser energy absorption indeuterated plastic targets.
