Lasers & Optics

In 1972, Livermore created its unified Laser Program, enabling cutting-edge research in laser fusion systems that has led to a major fusion milestone.

An optical device and software developed by Livermore are on board the James Webb telescope, helping to provide images and data.

Laboratory recipients of the Department of Energy’s Office of Science Early Career Research Program awards continue to make advances in fundamental science research.

The Fusion Power Associates Board of Directors has selected Livermore physicist Debbie Callahan as a recipient of its 2022 Leadership Award.

The American Society of Safety Professionals, San Francisco Chapter, has awarded Tom Kohut, a manager at the National Ignition Facility, with the “Managers Who Get Safety” award.

LLNL researchers are collaborating with the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission to help develop a cryogenic target system for its Laser Mégajoule.

A high-explosive experiment at the National Ignition Facility expands understanding of material characteristics.

Researchers demonstrate the ability to generate metasurfaces that can be tailored to satisfy large-area antireflective applications for bandpass or broadband needs.

LLNL researchers have reported a significant advance in broadband antireflective coatings applied to optics using nanostructure metasurface technology.

One current and two former Lawrence Livermore scientists have been inducted into the Laboratory’s Entrepreneurs’ Hall of Fame.
