25. • Nova Laser Target Chamber
March 1985
The target chamber for the
Nova laser at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory
where ten laser beams converged to
heat and shock a tiny gold capsule
(hohlraum).
The entire structure is three stories high, and the spherica ltarget
chamber is 4.5 meters (15 feet) in diameter. The Nova laser
came on line in December 1984.
Until Nova was dismantled in May 1999 in preparation for
the National Ignition Facility it was the most powerful laser in
the world. The first Tron movie used the Nova laser for its
location shots.
