The research program in laser physics is directed toward developing
new high-power lasers, and new high-power, compact accelerators for
various defense programs. A very large krypton-fluoride laser, Nike
(see brochure) has been
developed to evaluate laser fusion as a potential laboratory simulator
of nuclear weapons effects, in support of the Department of Energy's
Defense Programs and the Defense Nuclear Agency.
