Inspecting NIF Calorimeters

Technician Steve Keesee checks a calorimeter in a roving mirror diagnostic enclosure (RMDE) during a facility maintenance and reconfiguration period. The calorimeters are periodically inspected for laser damage and humidity surface weathering of the attenuating glass filter. NIF operators send test beams to the RMDE to analyze laser performance.
