LLE is a world-leading university-based laboratory of scale with activities (missions) focused in laser fusion, high-energy-density physics (HEDP), laser and optics sciences and engineering, and eduction for the future work force in these areas. The lasers at LLE are the largest in any academic setting and are the major user facility in the world for HEDP with over 400 users and over 85 institutions conducting research at LLE.
Research at LLE has led to nearly 500 Ph.D. degrees with “alumni” now at national laboratories, universities, and industry. The quality of research has recently been highlighted by the 2018 Nobel prize in physics that was awarded for research done at LLE. The winners included a graduate student!
LLE is unique in that it combines the resources and infrastructure for a national laboratory with the innovations, education, and “jour de spirit” of a first class university!
