Rochester-based Sydor Technologies has been awarded a $200,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to work with the LLE to assess the commercial feasibility of the mid-scale plasma-electrode Pockels Cell (mPEPC) system developed at LLE.

The fiber laser group at the Institute of Applied Physics (IAP) at Friedrich Schiller University Jena is actively involved in the development of such new generation lasers and we are recruiting.

A team of researchers has been using machine learning to teach a compact particle accelerator to produce customised beams for a number of different applications. This technique expands the conceivable range of applications for so-called laser-plasma accelerators, innovative compact next-generation accelerators that are currently under development.

The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced $28.5 million in funding to LaserNetUS to further advance discovery science and inertial fusion energy (IFE) research.
