National Synchrotron Light Source Seminar

"Advanced Optical Systems For Basis Science Research"

Presented by Michael Pivovaroff, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Monday, February 1, 2010, 1:30 pm — Seminar Room, Bldg. 725

Lawrence Livermore has a long history of developing innovative optical systems for basic science applications. In this talk, I will discuss two such efforts: the X-ray offset mirror systems for the Linac Coherent Light Source, the recently commissioned X-ray free electron laser, and the Gemini Planet Imager, an adaptive optic-based instrument capable of direct detection of nearby extra-solar planets. The capabilities LLNL has developed in X-ray and adaptive optic design and modeling, precision metrology and engineering and thin-film and multilayer deposition, coupled with expertise from other DOE laboratories, could be used to develop the novel X-ray optics for the next generation of national light sources.
