 note = {A method of power transmission using a laser beam for a very long distance has been proposed. A compact and high power TEA CO[2] laser has been developed and it has been applied to the plasma production for the power transmission. The characteristics of the direct energy conversion from laser energy to electricity with laser-produced plasma are reported here. It is found that the total conversion efficiency increases with laser output using a carbon target. The effect of surface magnetic confinement with geometric mirrors on the electric output power is also reported here.},
