Directed-Energy Windows

HPFS

Corning's HPFS® ArF Grade Fused Silica is being used for windows in high-energy lasers that support Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) research. ICF experiments are key to fusion ignition research and support.

  • The maintenance of nuclear stockpiles without underground testing
  • Exploring fusion as a source of electric power
  • Insight into the origins of the universe
  • Investigating theories in astrophysics

Corning HPFS is the material of choice for large windows and lenses in ICF laboratories given its low birefringence, exceptional index homogeneity, and resistance to laser damage.
