2011:

In 2011, the 60-beam OMEGA laser conducted its 20,000 target shot (OMEGA S/N 64108 from port H8) since it was commissioned in 1995. The facility capabilities include flexible pulse shaping, beam smoothing, power balance, and comprehensive diagnostics. OMEGA is one of the world’s most productive high-energy-density-physics facilities.
