Machine Learning Helps Ease the Jitters of High-Power Lasers

(l-r) Researchers Anthony Gonsalves, Alessio Amodio, and Dan Wang at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory align precision optics to prepare the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Petawatt laser for laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) experiments. The machine learning–based control algorithm stabilizes the high-power laser’s pointing at the LPA target.(Credit: Thor Swift/Berkeley Lab).
