Lasers & Optics

A Livermore team has developed a Metasurface Laser Printing (MSLP) process that can produce adjustable, nanoscale (billionth of a meter) surface features with patterning that can be locally controlled and spatially modifiable across meter-sized substrates.

A team has designed a new generation of compressor gratings that could boost the performance of the world’s ultrafast high-power laser systems by as much as 20 percent.

LLNL researchers described the results of effort to develop a modeling capability “reliable enough to guide NIF experiments to ignition” in a featured Physics of Plasmas.

Six Lawrence Livermore scientists have been selected as 2019 fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will take photos using optical assemblies designed by Lawrence Livermore researchers.

Over the last decade, the world's most energetic laser has been making important contributions to the Stockpile Stewardship Program, national security, and high-energy-density science.

Small satellites that are easier and less expensive to build and more cost efficient to launch than conventional ones.

Four scientists from Lawrence Livermore have been selected for the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineers (PECASE).

Livermore scientists Félicie Albert, Eyal Feigenbaum and Bruce Warner have been named senior members of the Optical Society.

LLNL senior engineering associate Carlos Castro is the co-winner of the 2019 Larry Foreman Award for innovation and excellence in ICF target fabrication.
