Focused Energy signs a deal to buy two high-energy laser systems for its inertial-confinement fusion program, with installation planned at a future San Francisco Bay Area facility it is building over the next two years. Manufactured by France’s Amplitude Laser, the bespoke systems cost nearly $40 million, deliver more than a kilojoule to a target, and can fire about once per minute. Focused Energy targets 10 shots per second for a commercial plant and says scaling laser manufacturing is a central challenge.
