THE TARGET CHAMBER of the National Ignition Facility (painted blue) houses a minuscule pellet of plutonium or other materials. NEAR THE TARGET, each of 48 optical assemblies checks the lasers for quality, alters their frequency and focuses them into the target chamber. [Extracted from the article] |
