Trip to Laser Lab 2005

This trip was supported in part by the modern physics class in Spring 2005. The course instructor at that time, Russel Simpson, arranged the trip through his friend at the university. The laser lab was huge at the time, and you can see some photos of how they plan to expand the site to make it 64x more powerful.

This is where the main laser beam first gets split
These are vacuum tubes that house the laser
This is where the initial laser beam comes into the main facility

These are devices which tune and focus the incoming radiation
These aim the multiple beams on a single target
This is where the reaction happens
