Anti-Reflective Optical Coating Boosts World’s Most Powerful Laser, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Reveals

Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California have developed a new anti-reflective coating to protect laser optics, and a new chemical process that makes the optics more resistant to damage. The two technologies will help reduce operational costs and boost the energy output of the National Ignition Facility (NIF), the world’s largest and highest-energy laser system.
