International Journal of Student Project Reporting (IJSPR)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Review of Cavity Design and Laser Control Strategies for Improved Laser Isotope Enrichment Efficiency   Order a copy of this article
    by Lillian Carncross, Alyssa Jin, Charles Randall 
    Abstract: Laser isotope separation (LIS) techniques provide high isotope selectivity and efficiency, but practical limitations such as Doppler broadening, photon utilisation inefficiencies, and process control restrict scalability and throughput. This review examines recent advancements in cavity design, including thermal management and multipass optical configurations, and automated laser control strategies, such as real-time Doppler spectrum monitoring and adaptive laser pulse shaping. These innovations improve enrichment yield and operational efficiency, with direct implications for high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel production and medical isotope synthesis. By integrating these approaches, LIS techniques can achieve enhanced efficiency and reliability, helping to bridge the gap between laboratory demonstrations and industrial applications.
    Keywords: Laser isotope separation (LIS); molecular laser isotope separation (MLIS); cavity enhancements; laser bandwidth control; HALEU fuel.
