RP Laser Propulsion.

RP Laser Propulsion is a propulsion system that uses a RP(Repepetively pulse) Laser. Please go to the folowing page for more information

Activity.

In the RP laser propulsion group, we conduct "Experimental research" and "System analization" in order to research the feasibility of RP laser propulsion

  • - Experimental Research

    RP Laser propulsion uses a phenomena called Laser Supported Detonation(LSD) in order to generate thrust. We create laser plasma in our lab and visualize the phenomena using many methods in order to elucidate the mechanism of the blast wave which generates thrust.

  • - System analization

    We simulate laser propulsion systems in order to estimate the cost and the scale neede to realize the system.

Apparatus.

In the RP laser propulsion group, we use high power lasers and many optical facilities
