When José Hernández spoke about his 2009 trip into space as flight ![]() NASA Astronaut and former LLNL engineer Jose Hernandez is the subject of a Production level metrologies to ensure high quality of the delivered “NIF final optics quality and configuration has evolved, “Managing NIF optics damage is like peeling a growing onion…as challengesĪre mitigated, new challenges arise with increased power and energy,” Improving the damage resistance of as-fabricated fused silica optics.” Has enabled transitioning optical fabrication and processing from an Suratwala said, “A 20-year-long science and technology investment Higher optic laser damage resistance, and therefore greater NIF energy and The team experiments with new fabrication and processing methods to enable Routinely tested, removed, repaired and cleaned on-site. ![]() Routinely recycling some of them to repair any laser damage, at a smallįraction of the cost and time for obtaining a new optic. Team has developed a robust system of keeping the optics in good function by To keep NIF in a state of continuous operation and testing, Suratwala’s The most notable scientific breakthroughs in decades. He discussed optical technologies behind one of Suratwala, program director for Optics and Materials Science and Technology Seats were filled to hear the keynote presentation by Optica fellow Tayyab In Québec City, Canada, as a part of Optica’s Design and FabricationĬongress to convene on new concepts and emerging applications in optics The 2023 Optical Fabrication and Testing Topical Meeting (OF&T) recently met Optics at the National Ignition Facility. LLNL’s Tayyab Suratwala recently gave a keynote presentation on the role of Performance in the conversion of sunlight and water into carbon-free H2. That plays a role in the high efficiency of the material and its stable They have discovered a self-improving property in Silicon and GaN (Si/GaN) Laboratories are working with a team at the University of Michigan. Researchers from Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley national With such a focus on H2 as the worldĭecarbonizes and governments provide grants, subsidies and tax breaks toĬompanies developing new tech in this area, scientists are taking a closer Sunlight into carbon-free hydrogen fuel with twice the efficiency and The device made of silicon and GaN was able to harness The researchers found that silicon and GaN could be used in an artificial Recently that same discovery is being examined with respect to the advantages Regarding the semiconductive use of gallium nitrate (GaN) three years ago,įocusing on the advantages it has to offer solar energy technology. Scientists from the University of Michigan have made important discoveries To harness sunshine into carbon free hydrogen fuel. LLNL researchers and collaborators are working a system using gallium nitrate I think it’s awesome that people care so much “You sort of pinch yourself when you’re standing next to Ali The whole interdisciplinary team at the Lab who contributed to thisĪchievement. ![]() Of three who normally leads a quiet life in Livermore. It’s been a whirlwind, media-filled several months for Kritcher, a mother Year and celebrates them at an event at New York’s Lincoln Center.
