I'm doing a paper on nuclear fusion by laser as an application of high power lasers. Are there papers that I really have to read? I can't find any more recent material. The most recent I found was from 2002.
I've got 2 books in our library: High Power Laser Interactions by Robieux (2000) and The Physics of Laser Fusion by Motz (1979).

You can not find because only

The National Ignition Facility (Nif) in the US is drawing closer to producing a surplus of energy from the idea.

As I know they should end building of their experimental set in near future and do not make publications.
You can get more information from their web-site:
https://lasers.llnl.gov/programs/ife/ or

If you are interested generally in inertial confinement also you should find information on Heavy Ions Fusion
Light Ions Fusion program is canceled.
From books I would also advise you: James J. Duderstadt, Gregory A. Moses, INERTIAL CONFINEMENT FUSION, John Wiley and Sons, NY, 1982
