The Laboratory for Laser Energetics supports the National Nuclear Security Administration as a leading academic institution advancing laser technologies, fusion, and high-energy-density (HED) science at a scale that is relevant. LLE’s program directly contributes to many of NNSA’s main goals and HED research activities, including providing experimental data to inform stockpile stewardship applications, determining the efficacy of developing inertial fusion ignition and high-yield platforms, and training the next generation of stockpile stewards.
