APS TV will also be around the convention center to cover the conference,interview key speakers and get your views on hot topics.

APS TV Program Highlights

This filmexamines theTexas PetawattLaser at theUniversity of

Texas at Austin. This laser produces lightpulses with power in excess of 10^15 W andfocused intensity exceeding 10^22 W/cm^2,an intensity that can be argued is brighter than any known optical source in the universe.Creating such laser pulses requires complicated optical techniques and uses someextreme technologies, such as the largest diffraction gratings in the world and singlecycle control of the light pulse. Focusing this power onto solid targets or into gasescreates fascinating extreme conditions and high temperature plasmas which can only beaccessed in a laboratory with such a device.Harnessing the Brightest Light in the Universe: The Science and

Technology of the Texas Petawatt Laser

The Laboratory forAdvanced Nuclear Energy(LANE) is based at the

Tokyo Institute of Technology and is focused on providingthe latest research in nuclear energy, radiation utilizations,

as well as ensuring the safety of nuclear energy. Aspopulations increase across the world and energyconsumption goes up, traditional fossil fuel-burning meansof generating energy are proving increasingly damaging tothe environment. It's essential that we find better ways ofgenerating energy. At the same time, after the Tohokuearthquake in 2011, it's essential to ensure all future use ofnuclear energy does not pose the same risks, betteranticipating events like these and their potential impact.Japan and the world as a whole have high expectations forthe kind of work LANE is doing, and Professors, studentsand staff plan to meet these expectations head on.Center for Nuclear Study at the University of Tokyo
