“Laser Compression of Matter to Super-High Densities: Thermonuclear (CTR) Applications”, 1972-09-15 (; backlinks; similar):
Hydrogen may be compressed to more than 10,000× liquid density by an implosion system energized by a high energy laser. This scheme makes possible efficient thermonuclear burn of small pellets of heavy hydrogen isotopes, and makes feasible fusion power reactors using practical lasers.
