    FEL tops 1kW!

    FEL reaches record power level
    Free Electron Laser (FEL) Reaches Record Power Level

    On July 15 the Free Electron Laser produced 1,720 watts of infrared light -- exceeding its design goal of 1,000 watts or 1 kW. The FEL Group is now forging ahead with a series of planned experiments for industry and university users. At kilowatt levels, the Jefferson Lab FEL offers researchers a unique tool for science and industrial processing with light. More on this story will be covered in next month's On Target.

    Congratulations FEL staff and thanks to all Lab personnel who helped make this goal a reality!
