OMEGA 60

The OMEGA laser has been operational since 1995 and is one of LLE's primary research tools. It stands 10 meters tall and is approximately 100 meters in length. OMEGA's 60 laser beams focus up to 40,000 joules of energy onto a target that measures less than 1 millimeter in diameter in approximately one billionth of a second.
