The Laser Science and Technology Department at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is developing solid state lasers with high average power and high beam quality. Specific systems include a laser to generate 10 to 14 Å x-rays for proximity print lithography, a 400 mJ, 500 Hz laser for 130 Å projection lithography and unique systems for speckle imaging, laser radars and medical treatments.
