Laboratory for Laser Energetics

The fiscal year 2023 funding will support health care expansions in the region as well as research at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. 

The Flash Center—devoted to computer simulations to advance understanding of astrophysics, plasma science, high-energy-density physics, and fusion energy—has moved from the University of Chicago to Rochester.

University of Rochester scientists set out to explain how—and how much—in order to improve future experiments.

The major breakthrough of achieving ignition is cause for celebration at Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics as well.

First-of-its-kind experimental evidence defies conventional theories about how plasmas emit or absorb radiation.

Rochester researchers hope to explain how the fields occur in plasma instabilities

Donna Strickland and Gérard Mourou’s discovery of chirped pulse amplification at the University of Rochester helped make bladeless LASIK possible.

The University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics has broken ground on a new $42 million, 66,000-square-foot expansion to house office and lab space.

Jill Hruby, undersecretary for nuclear security of the US Department of Energy (DOE) and administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA); US Rep. Joseph Morelle; and representatives from the offices of US Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand visited the Laboratory for Laser Energetics to meet with researchers and students.

A leader in science and innovation, Deeney brings to the role his extensive experience running complex operations.
