Laser Megajoule optics programming. Engineer programming the deformable mirror of the Laser Megajoule (LMJ). This mirror uses an array of actuators to bend its surface to compensate for errors in the LMJ laser beams. 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 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. Photographed at the CILASâEADS facility in Orleans, France.
