Soures, John M., 1943-. Oral History interview with John Soures, 2003 December 11.

Title: Oral History interview with John Soures, 2003 December 11.

Interview covers the founding and early years of the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE). Soures was an early collaborator with LLE founder Moshe Lubin, and has been associated with LLE since its opening in the 1970s. Soures discusses the early design and building of Omega, LLE's major laser innovation, and compares LLE to other national laser facilities, including magnetic confinement systems such as Princeton's Plasma Physics Laboratory's Tokamak and laser ignition systems such as Lawrence Livermore. He provides an assessment of LLE's major technical contributions, its place with the broader national laser effort, and its future role as test-bed for the National Ignition Facility at Livermore.

Title: Oral History interview with Stephen Jacobs, 2003 December 12.

The interview discusses Jacobs' graduate training at the University of Rochester, where he earned his Ph. D. in 1975, and his subsequent research on optical materials, devices, and manufacturing techniques with the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE). He talks about developing liquid crystals for OMEGA'S Nd:glass system and the manufacturing challenges of high performance optics. He discusses the connections between LLE and the Center for Optics Manufacturing, which has developed many of the techniques for designing and building the lenses for the Omega. He recounts the origins of magnetorheological finishing and its applications to lasers and other optics devices.
