On the occasion of first lasing of CIRFEL

CIRFEL, an acronym for Compact Infra-red Free Electron Laser was built over a period of ~5 years in the Physics Department of Princeton University by a team of Physicists, Engineers, and Programmers from Northrop Grumman Corporation collaborating with Prof. Austin at Princeton University.

CIRFEL started producing light around March 1997. This picture was taken on the occasion of first lasing of CIRFEL in the Joseph Henry Room at Princeton University Physics Building.
