The newly constructed Damage Testing Laboratory features a picosecond-pulse testing station (left to center) with a vacuum-damage-testing capability (vacuum chamber is on the front-left) and a nanosecond-pulse station shown on the center-to-right side. The members of the damage testing group are (left to right) Alexei Kozlov, Semyon Papernov, and Brittany Taylor. The fourth person in the picture is senior scientist Andrey Okishev, who designed and built the high-performance nanosecond-pulse laser.
