Checking in From NIF — Laser-Driven Fusion — With Jean-Michel Di Nicola (3/21/2023)

Three-and-a-half months after December 2022's breakthrough
experimental result that yielded fusion
ignition, Jean-Michel Di Nicola, chief engineer of laser
systems at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) and acting
program co-director for laser science and system engineering at
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, provides an update on
sustained progress in fusion science. Di Nicola takes listeners
inside NIF, and he offers his insights on next steps in big
science. "All Things Photonics" is produced by Photonics
Media and airs biweekly, on Tuesdays.
