| contents | The National Ignition Facility successfully achieved target gain 2.4 thus marginally entering into burn stage.Meanwhile, a recent conceptual design on 10 MJ laser driver [Matter Radiat. Extremes 9, 043002 (2024)] provides a new room for exploring novel target designs and interesting phenomena in a burning plasma after ignition. In this paper, we propose an amplifier scheme with extended burn stage, which includes secondary implosion, generates extremely hot and dense fusion fireball, and produces additional gain. The amplifier scheme can be realized either by direct-drive or by indirect-drive. Here, we present a direct-drive amplifier design. The amplifier scheme can be realized at a low convergence ratio, so it can greatly relax the \r{ho} RT hot spot condition and the stringent requirements on engineering issues by a high gain fusion. Especially, the fireball lasts for 30 ps, reaching 330 g/cc, 350 keV, 54 Tbar at center when the secondary explosion happens, which leaves an important room for novel target designs towards clean fusion energy. |
