We are excited to announce that M/E Engineering has joined Salas O’Brien, effective October 2025. Our offices will remain under the same leadership, and our clients can continue to expect the same team and level of service. As M/E and Salas O’Brien work together, we believe clients will benefit from our combined expertise and geographic reach.
An 85,000 SF addition to the existing Lab for Laser Energetics accommodates the addition of a one-petawatt laser beam to the University’s Omega fusion laser system. The new four beam petawatt laser is designed to allow coincident shots on the same target as the existing 60 beam Omega laser.
The Omega upgrade is a world-class laser being used to study fusion by heating and imploding a target pellet filled with hydrogen isotopes. The process is seen as key to meeting the earth’s energy needs and an important part of the international effort to master fusion.
