Abstract

SG-III laser facility is now the largest under-construction laser driver for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research in China, whose 48 beams will deliver 180kJ/3ns/3ω energy to target in one shot. Till the summer of 2014, 4 bundle of lasers have finished their engineering installation and testing, and the A1 laser testing is undergoing. A round of physics experiment is planned in Oct. 2014 with 5 bundle of lasers, which means the facility must be prepared for a near-full-capability operation before the last quarter of 2014. This paper will briefly introduce the latest progress of the engineering and research progress of SG-III laser facility.
