The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory contains a 192-beam 4.2 MJ neodymium glass laser (around 1053 nm or 1w) that is frequency converted to 351nm light or 3w. It has been designed to support the study of Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) and High Energy Density Physics (HEDP). The NIF Precision Diagnostic System (PDS) was reactivated and new diagnostic packages were designed and fielded that offer a more comprehensive suite of high-resolution measurements. The current NIF laser performance will be presented as well as the preliminary results obtained with the various laser experimental campaigns using the new diagnostic tool suites.
