Vertical Integration

At LLE, every stage of laser-driven science and technology—from concept to discovery—happens in one place. This vertical integration is what makes LLE distinct among laser research facilities in the United States.

By bringing together design, engineering, operations, and science under one roof, the University of Rochester’s LLE delivers unmatched efficiency and innovation. For more than 50 years, this model has enabled LLE to meet national security goals, push forward the promise of fusion energy, and expand the frontiers of fundamental and frontier science.
