GEKKO XII is one of the world’s largest laser t : systems in Japan. It consists of 12 beams which LFEX An Ultra Intense Laser System can accurately propagate a distance of 270 m with the World’s Highest Output Pulse Energy from the oscillator to the focusing chamber with an accuracy of 0.01 mm or less and can freely The Laser for Fast Ignition Experiments (LFEX) is the world’s most powerful control the pulse duration from 100 ps to 10 ns. picosecond laser in terms of output pulse energy. The output pulses are gener- The laser system enables experiments useful for ated by the chirped pulse amplification method which stretches the pulse in time both academia and industry such as laser nuclear and spectra in the system. In 2009, LFEX was initially developed for research on fusion research, astrophysics, ultrahigh pressure laser fusion. In 2014, it started operating its four beam lines not only for laser physics, new laser processes, and creation of new fusion but also for academic and industrial research such as astrophysics and field of sciences. particle beam acceleration.
