Vertical Integration
At the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics, 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, 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.
A Cross-Divisional Support Infrastructure
LLE’s vertical infrastructure ensures effective and resilient operation of the Omega Laser Facility for the inertial confinement fusion and high-energy-density science communities.
Even More Capabilities
The 66,000 square foot expansion added space for the AMICA Laser, a large optical coating lab, a low-vibration cleanroom, and prototyping space for NSF OPAL.
