OMEGA, Laboratory for Laser Energetics, University of Rochester

The OMEGA laser beam facility has 60 laser beams that focus up to 40 kJ of energy onto a target with a size of less than 1 millimeter in diameter in approximately one nanosecond.

"Z" Pulsed Power Z-Pinch Facility, Sandia National Laboratories

The Z pulsed power accelerator at Sandia is the world’s most powerful and most efficient (15%) laboratory x-ray source. The Z accelerator produces up to 290 TW of x-ray power and an x-ray energy of 1.9 MJ in a pulse of about 10 nsec.

National Ignition Facility (NIF), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

The NIF is designed to study high energy density plasmas and, ultimately, demonstrate fusion ignition within an inertial confinement fusion capsule. When completed, the NIF is expected to have 192 laser beams, and be capable of delivering 1.8 MJ to a mm-sized target.

Laser Megajoule (LMJ), CEA (France)

The LMJ laser beam facility, being built in the Bordeaux region of France, is designed to study high energy density plasmas and inertial confinement fusion. When completed, LMJ will have 240 laser beams that will deliver 1.8 MJ of energy to a target.
