University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics

The Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester has long been a leader in its field. Founded just 10 years after the laser's invention, the LLE puts its students at the forefront of its work. In fact, in 2018, a former grad student from the lab was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for research she conducted while at the LLE. The lab continues its legacy now by pioneering new technologies that will yield some of the highest-power lasers in the world.
