ShenGuang-Ⅱ Laser Facility

May 27, 2025

The integrated ShenGuang-II platform (SG-II in short) has been developed by Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, CAS and Shanghai Institute of Laser Plasma, CAEP together, and was focused on high power laser facilities building and ICF relative research.
SG-II facility is the earliest high power laser facility operating successfully more than 20 years and become the first open platform of lasers to all of the researcher and academia to execute the laser-physical experiments in China.
The integrated platform has been put into service since 2016, which consists of the original SG-II eight-beam facility, multifunctional laser system (SG-II 9th beam or Peta-Watt laser) , SG-II upgrade (SG-II-U) facility and another 10KJ beam( as a ps-beam or a ns beam). It could service not only nanosecond pulse laser but also picosecond and femtosecond pulse laser with the output ability ranging from ~20KJ and ~1KJ. There are several combinations with different beams in one or two facilities together for shooting. Three different target chambers are built for experiment in two target areas.
This new platform have become the important platform to promote development of inertial confinement fusion (ICF), high energy density (HED) physics, laboratory astrophysics, advanced materials and biomedical therapy and so on. It can provide good research service to satisfy the requirements from different kinds of science fields. 

All of the relatively researchers in the world is welcomed to discuss and execute physical experiment.
