The WP6120 imaging colorimeter uses a 12 Mpixel, scientific-grade, cooled CCD along with the Photometrica software suite. Its electronic shutter provides exposure times from 8 ms to 5 min. It can measure luminance from 0.01 to 90,000 cd/m2, as well as correlated color temperature, dominant wavelength, purity, illuminance, and luminous intensity.

Large-scale simulations demonstrate that chaos is responsible for stochastic heating of dense plasma by intense laser energy. This image shows a snapshot of electron distribution phase space (position/momentum) from the dense plasma taken from PIC simulations, illustrating the so-called 'stretching and folding' mechanism responsible for the emergence of chaos in physical systems.
