2007 Annual Report

The fiscal year ending in September 2007 concluded the fifth year of the five-year renewal of Cooperative Agreement DE-FC52-92F19460 with the U.S. Department of Energy. This report summarizes progress in laser-fusion research at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) during the past fiscal year. It also reports on LLE's progress on laser, optical materials, and advanced technology development; work on the OMEGA EP (extended performance) laser project; operation of OMEGA for the National Laser Users' Facility (NLUF) and other external users; and programs focusing on the education of high school, undergraduate, and graduate students during the year.
