Plasma focus perspectives

Stanley514

There are claims that fast ignition laser fusion could
provide sufficient gains in power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiPER
Could the same approach work with plasma focus?For example plasma focus
could create initial compression of target and after picosecond laser create
explosion of target.Why wouldn`t it work for plasma focus?
