Nova (laser) View down Nova's laser bay between two banks of beamlines. The blue boxes contain the amplifiers and their flashtube "pumps", the tubes between the banks of amplifiers are the spatial filters. Nova was a high-power laser built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California, United States, in 1984 which conducted ...
The Shiva laser was a powerful 20-beam infrared neodymium glass (silica glass) laser built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1977 for the study of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and long-scale-length laser-plasma interactions. Presumably, the device was named after the multi-armed form of the Hindu god Shiva, due to the laser's ...
LULI2000. LULI2000 is a high-power laser system dedicated to scientific research. It is located in LULI laboratory, [1] at École Polytechnique [2] in France. The main application of this type of laser is related to the very high energy fluxes obtained after focusing onto tiny focal spots, from micrometers to hundreds of micrometers in diameter.
The 200TW shortpulse ultra high-intensity laser system is currently a world record holder in ion acceleration energy with Target Normal Sheath Acceleration mechanism, producing protons at 58.5 MeV from a flat-foil, beating the record of the NOVA Petawatt laser back in 1999; and 67.5 MeV protons from micro-cone targets.
The Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) is a scientific research facility which is part of the University of Rochester's south campus, located in Brighton, New York.The lab was established in 1970 with operations jointly funded by the United States Department of Energy, the University of Rochester and the New York State government.
The AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System or XN-1 LaWS [1] is a laser weapon developed by the United States Navy. The weapon was installed on USS Ponce for field testing in 2014. In December 2014, the United States Navy reported that the LaWS system worked perfectly against low-end asymmetric threats, and that the commander of Ponce was authorized to ...
The Ti:sapphire crystal is the bright red light source on the left. The green light is from the pump diode. Titanium-sapphire lasers (also known as Ti:sapphire lasers, Ti:Al2O3 lasers or Ti:sapphs) are tunable lasers which emit red and near-infrared light in the range from 650 to 1100 nanometers. These lasers are mainly used in scientific ...
Iron Beam. Iron Beam ( Hebrew: קֶרֶן בַּרְזֶל, keren barzel ), officially מגן אור, magen or, Shield of Light is a directed-energy weapon air defense system unveiled at the Singapore Airshow on February 11, 2014 [1] by Israeli defense contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. [2] The system is designed to destroy short-range ...
