Abstract
This paper theoretically discusses the implosion characteristics of radiation driven high gain laser fusion. The authers have estimated some important characteristic quantities, including efficiencies, fuel compression and hot spot ignition etc. In addition, the paper emphasizes some major harmful factors which have to be controlled for successful performance.
