And it was just that the after the initial laser pulse that triggered ignition there was no need to sustain it to continue to heat up the fuel to induce fusion.

The fact that this indeed was ignition was one of the main reasons why the fusion reaction itself was net positive.

I don't see this anywhere in the article. Is there a better reference for what actually happened during the experiment?
