Russia built the world's most powerful laser super

Russian technology experts have confirmed that in the next five years they will manufacture the most powerful laser equipment in the world, surpassing the US.

The world's most powerful laser device is expected to be available in 2019, ahead of a one-year forecast. The shortage of time is due to the urgent need to address a number of complex scientific and practical issues.

The equipment will consist of 192 laser channels, occupying an area equivalent to two soccer fields, the highest point of the building will be equivalent to a 10-story building. This super-laser device will be deployed in Sarov, in the province of Nizhegorod.

Laser is increasingly used in all fields of civil and military

The laser will possess the largest pulse power compared to Western equipment - more than 2 MJ (Megajun). Currently in the United States there is a 1.8 MJ power system. A similar device is being manufactured in France.

Vladimir Fortov, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that the breakthrough project was supported by active support from the Institute's leadership and by a large number of theoretical and practical physicists. Russia.

At present, the design work has been completed and the scientists move to the production of component parts. Construction and installation will commence in 2015. The first phase of the facility will be launched in 2017.

Academician Vladimir Fortov emphasized: 'Laser physics is extremely interesting and rich. It is the physics of the high energy density, pressure and extreme temperature. The project is important because it deals with new states of matter that could not have been experienced in laboratory conditions but in the universe. "

"In addition, this success fosters the achievements of the field of diagnostics, technology and many other areas necessary for scientific development. The actual results of the study are the control of fusion reactions . "

According to experts, the new device will be used to perform basic research on high temperature plasmas. Working with the project will not only Russian experts but also foreign colleagues. Become a "community use center".
