TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Closed Loop Arbitrary Spatial Polarization Shaping (CLASPS)

Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its Closed Loop Arbitrary Spatial Polarization Shaping (CLASPS). Background: High-energy and high-peak-power pulsed laser systems are enabling technologies for particle acceleration, nuclear fusion, additive manufacturing, defense and more. Newer laser systems continually push the limits of laser pulse energy and peak power to drive stronger laser-matter interactions. There is a pressing need for tighter customization of pulse shaping and tunable polarization in applications such as particle acceleration and coupling laser pulse energy to EUV source materials for increased yield of relevant particles/radiation. Description: Performance at bottlenecks of these high energy laser …
