Fabrication of Metasurfaces and Shadowers on Meter-Scale Laser Optics
Abstract: The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is one of the largest laser systems in the world in terms of both size and energetics. For the optics to meet the requirements of operating such systems, the science of light-matter interaction is being studied leading to new technologies development. In this talk, I will focus on introducing two technologies we are developing for glass surface structuring for advancing light-control in these systems: all-glass metasurfaces and light-blocking elements.
