A dense plasma focus (DPF) is a type of plasma generating system originally developed as a fusion power device, starting in the early 1960s. The system demonstrated scaling laws that suggested it would not be useful in the commercial power role, and since the 1980s it has been used mainly as a fusion teaching system, and as a source of neutrons and X-rays.
