| This huge, deformable mirror is just one of many innovations in large-scale optics that the National Ignition Facility (NIF) has prompted. European researchers hoping to work on a similar project for commercial energy production by laser-driven inertial confinement fusion would require similar innovations, and would likely spur major commercial development in optical technologies.
