The University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) and Sydor Technologies have received a $1.15 million Phase II SBIR grant from the US Department of Energy for their project on Plasma-Electrode Pockels Cells for Inertial Fusion Facilities. This collaboration aims to advance optical devices for high-powered laser systems, specifically focusing on commercializing mid-scale plasma-electrode Pockels cell (mPEPC) technology for future fusion facilities. The project addresses critical aspects of laser system design and performance, with the goal of advancing inertial fusion research and development through academic-industry collaboration. Sydor Technologies and LLE's partnership demonstrates the power of collaboration between research institutions and industry, accelerating the transition of fusion technologies from the lab to commercial applications.
