Plan of investigation and prototyping for development of mirrorless FSI

This report details the plans for the investigation of mirrorless FSI within the framework of the AIDAinnova programme. We discuss the recent upgrade of the FSI system at the University of Oxford, which offers more channels (up to 16), and, more importantly for the studies planned here, the option to operate these channels at higher laser power. Finally, we give an overview over existing structural prototypes, which we will use to investigate mirrorless FSI.
