Xcimer Energy activates 38-metre laser in Denver

Xcimer Energy activated a 38-metre excimer laser in Denver to validate long-pulse operation and Stimulated Brillouin Scattering for fusion manufacturing. The krypton-fluoride laser generates over 1 kilojoule at full power, a step toward a mid-2030s commercial fusion plant. The system mirrors National Ignition Facility physics but targets faster, repeatable pulses for industrial-scale fuel ignition.
