LLNL laser beamlet mechanical parts. Final report

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has initiated a project to develop a high energy laser to provide an aboveground experimental capability for maintaining nuclear weapons competence. It also will provide a means of achieving fusion ignition utilizing solid state lasers as the energy driver. To complete this project, LLNL needed to procure hardware for evaluation purposes. This development endeavor included building the Beamlet Lens Positioner Assembly at AlliedSignal Inc., Kansas City Division (KCD). This assembly included piece parts from all KCD mechanical areas. Piece part assembly of the unit was completed at KCD, and the unit was shipped to LLNL
