The Trident Nd:glass laser system operates as an experimental facility supporting the national Inertial Confinement Fusion program at Los Alamos. The laser has two identical main beam lines with 14-cm-disk final amplifiers. The beams are frequency doubled, expanded to 19.2 cm, and focused on target with a variety of focusing optics. A third beam with 10-cm disk final amplifiers is also frequency doubled and used as a target-shooting or diagnostic beam simultaneously with the other two beams.
The facility provides a flexible combination of energy, pulse-shaping capabilities, and diagnostic tools for laser-target interaction experiments.
三叉戟钕玻璃激光系统作为一个实验设施，为洛斯阿拉莫斯国家惯性约束聚变计划提供支持。该激光器有两条相同的主光束线，配备14厘米圆盘式最终放大器。光束经过倍频，扩展至19.2厘米，并通过各种聚焦光学元件聚焦到靶上。第三条光束配备10厘米圆盘式最终放大器，也经过倍频，并与另外两条光束同时用作靶射击或诊断光束。
该设施为激光与靶相互作用实验提供了能量、脉冲整形能力和诊断工具的灵活组合。
