About Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Lawrence Livermor National Laboratory (LLNL) is a United States Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory, managed and operated by the University of California, in Livermore, California until September 30, 2007. As of October 1, 2007 the lab will be managed by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS), a consortium comprised of the University of California, Bechtel National, BWX Technologies, Washington Group International, and Battelle Memorial Institute. Along with Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, it is one of the two United States laboratories whose founding mission was the design of nuclear weapons.

LLNL is self-described as "a premier research and development institution for science and technology applied to national security." It is responsible for ensuring that the nation’s nuclear weapons remain "safe, secure, and reliable" through application of advances in science, engineering, and technology. The laboratory also applies its special expertise and multidisciplinary capabilities to preventing the [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/proliferation proliferation] and use of weapons of mass destruction, and to bolstering homeland security. Those capabilities are also utilized in programs in non-defense areas such as basic science, energy, environmental science, and biosciences.

LLNL is home to many of the most powerful computer systems in the world, according to the TOP500 list — including Blue Gene/L, the world's fastest computer. Since 1978 the laboratory has received a total of 113 prestigious R&D; 100 Awards, including seven in 2006, the most for any institution. The awards are given annually by the editors of R&D; Magazine to the most innovative ideas of the year.

LLNL's main facility is located on a one-square-mile site in Livermore, CA. Site 300, a ten-square-mile remote explosive/experiment testing site, is situated 18 miles to the east. Lawrence Livermore has an annual budget of about $1.6 billion and a staff of over 8,000 University of California employees, as well as 1,500 contract employees. Additionally, there are approximately 100 DOE employees stationed at the laboratory to provide federal oversight of LLNL's work for the DOE."

  2. Retinal imaging with a combined adaptive optics/optical coherence tomography and adaptive optics/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy system

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Mar 2 2010) Ophthalmology

    Retinal imaging with a combined adaptive optics/optical coherence tomography and adaptive optics/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy system We describe results of retinal imaging with a novel instrument that combines adaptive optics - Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) with an adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AO-SLO). One of the benefits of combining Fd-OCT with SLO includes automatic co-registration between the two imaging modalities and the potential for correcting lateral and transversal eye motion resulting in motion artifact-free volumetric retinal imaging. Additionally this allows for direct comparison between retinal ... (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article opticsinfobase.org (Nov 11 2009) Ophthalmology

    Retinal imaging with polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography and adaptive optics Various layers of the retina are well known to alter the polarization state of light. Such changes in polarization may be a sensitive indicator of tissue structure and function, and as such have gained increased clinical attention. Here we demonstrate a polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) system that incorporates adaptive optics (AO) in the sample arm and a single line scan camera in the detection arm. We quantify the benefit ... (Read Full Article)

    Error Budget Analysis for an Adaptive Optics Optical Coherence Tomography System The combination of adaptive optics (AO) technology with optical coherence tomography (OCT) instrumentation for imaging the retina has proven to be a valuable tool for clinicians and researchers in understanding the healthy and diseased eye. The micrometer-isotropic resolution achieved by such a system allows imaging of the retina at a cellular level, however imaging of some cell types remains elusive. Improvement in contrast rather than resolution is needed and can ... (Read Full Article)

    Imaging the structure and correlating it with the biochemical content of the retina holds promise for fundamental research and for clinical applications. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is commonly used to image the 3D structure of the retina and while the added functionality of biochemical analysis afforded by Raman scattering could provide critical molecular signatures for clinicians and researchers, there are many technical challenges to combine these imaging modalities. We describe ... (Read Full Article)

    Adaptive optics (AO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are powerful imaging modalities that, when combined, can provide high-resolution (3.5 µm isotropic), 3-D images of the retina. The AO-OCT system at UC Davis has demonstrated the utility of this technology for microscopic, volumetric, in vivo retinal imaging. The current system uses an AOptix bimorph deformable mirror (DM) for low-order, high-stroke correction and a 140-actuator Boston Micromachines DM for high-order correction. Developments ...
