Yes but, as far as I know, research into achieving laser induced fusion hasn't itself run into many classification hurdles. I suspect that may not be the case with the scaling phase.
The key thing here is the Lasers aren't doing the immediate compression, the lasers are simulating X-Ray radiation which then is ablating the casing around the tritium. Figuring out how to create and amplify a x-ray pulse was a major sticking point in the Star Wars program.
