After 50 years journey from the innovation of lasers, demonstration of controlled ignition and subsequent burn is expected within a couple of years at the US National Ignition Facility [1] (NIF). Fast ignition has the high potential to ignite a fuel using only about one tenth of laser energy of NIF. This compactness would extensively accelerate laser fusion energy development. One of the most advanced fast ignition programs is the Fast Ignition Realization Experiment [2] (FIREX). The goal of its first phase is to demonstrate ignition temperature of 5 keV, followed by the second phase to demonstrate the ignition-and-burn.
