no links that I could locate, too new I guess.

That sounds like inertial confinement fusion, sometimes refered to as IFE regarding energy/power plants. But that would make it Laser Initertial Fusion Energy.
If it is unique from ICF I'm real interested in finding out more!
Do you know where the Fusion-Fission part of the name comes from? fission has been an inertial driver in ICF (ie, a hydrogen bomb), but never heard of fission and lasers. Unless a fission reactor is powering the lasers.
Wait sorry going too off topic haha.
EDIT: link if anyone's interested
