The progress of laser fusion research at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University is reviewed. They are physics investigations on target implosion, development of laser technologies, and R&D for laser fusion power plants. The long term strategy of Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) development has been reexamined taking into account the recent progress of implosion physics and reactor related technologies.
