The University of California, Los Angeles is joining LaserNetUS, a high-power laser facility alliance established by the Department of Energy, aimed at advancing laser plasma science.

Unique facilities are located in universities and national laboratories across the United States and Canada, providing a wide range of opportunities for researchers and students.

The Phoenix Laser Laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles is led by physics professors Troy Carter and Cristoph Niemann and has one of the highest energy lasers in the university. Phoenix lasers can be emitted into large plasma devices 20 meters (nearly 66 feet) long to reproduce conditions similar to astrophysical explosions such as coronal mass ejections or supernovae.

As part of LaserNetUS, the University of California, Los Angeles will also support experiments related to laser fusion as a potential carbon free and infinite energy source in the future.

Recently, the national ignition device at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory demonstrated this concept for the first time, which is much larger than the Phoenix Laboratory. The Phoenix laser will assist in conducting laser target and cavity coupling research and testing the necessary scientific instruments.

  • Progress in the study of ultrafast electron dynamics using short light pulses

    When electrons move in molecules or semiconductors, their time scale is unimaginably short. The Swedish German team, including Dr. Jan Vogelsang from the University of Oldenburg, has made significant progress in these ultrafast processes: researchers are able to track the dynamics of electrons released on the surface of zinc oxide crystals using laser pulses with nanoscale spatial resolution and p...

  • The influence of laser beam drift on SLM thin-walled TC11 specimens at high scanning speed

    AbstractDue to the width of the laser melt pool and the sintering effect on the surrounding powder, the experimental size of the selective laser melting (SLM) sample will be larger than the design size, which will greatly affect the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the thin-walled sample. In order to obtain SLM thin-walled TC11 specimens with precise dimensions, an orthogonal experiment...
