Does aneutronic fusion require a high-repetition long-lasting laser?
Nope. Not required.
Can a laser be used? Possibly. NASA engineer John Chapman has proposed a laser-based pB11 thruster design but the oligarchs have banned fusion projects at NASA proper so if it can be built it’ll have to be built somewhere else…
