  The laser assisted H charge exchange concept is under development at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) as on option for replacing traditional carbon-based foil technology in future accelerators. A laser based stripping system has the potential to alleviate limiting issues with foil technology, paving the way for accumulation of much higher density proton beams. This paper discusses the advantages and limitations of a laser-based stripping system compared with traditional foil-based charge exchange systems for various beam accumulation scenarios, scaling from SNS experience with high power beam injection and calculations of laser stripping parameters. In addition, preparations for an experimental demonstration of laser assisted stripping for microsecond long 1 GeV, H beams are described.
