First X-Ray Laser's Early Success Brings Approval for Next-phase Facility: LCLS-II

Caption

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's LCLS-II will occupy the second (left) half of the subterranean Undulator Hall, which was designed to accommodate a pair undulator arrays operating in tandem. The undulator array for LCLS-I, seen here, began generating pulses of X-Ray laser light in April 2009.
