ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus is described for the generation and confinement of plasma. This comprises a continuous wave laser for radiating energy as a beam to a focal plane, where an ignition device is provided to initiate a plasma when irradiated by said laser energy. A magnetic field is also provided, disposed so as to restrict normal motion of the plasma up the laser beam. A housing is provided to form an elongated chamber having a longitudinal axis along which the laser energy is directed to the ignition device. The magnetic field is disposed circumferentially around a portion of the axis, to contain the plasma between the magnetic field and the focal plane. Preferably, pressurizing apparatus are also provided for variably pressurizing the interior of said chamber. Still more preferably, the magnetic field is created by a superconductive magnetic coil, and the intensity of the laser beam is varied to vary the temperature of the plasma.
