Laser Megajoule optics production. Engineer spraying a sol-gel material onto a laser glass slab. This process forms a thin non-reflecting coating on the glass surface. The glass slab will be used to control a laser beam in the Laser Megajoule (LMJ). The LMJ is an experimental nuclear fusion device being built near Bordeaux,France,using the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) method. It uses 240 laser beams and 1.8 megajoules of power to heat a target to the point where fusion and power generation occurs. Construction of the LMJ started with the Laser Integration Line (LIL,8 lasers),completed in 2002 and due to be expanded into the full LMJ by 2012.
