The Power Photonics (PLP) Lab takes on unprecedented research in the field of photonics, centered on lasers, and aims for new developments. Research centers on experiments and analysis (programming), and AI will also be used in research, experiments, and analysis. The lab works on precise control of high-intensity lasers, laser development, beam shaping in 2D and 3D space, nanotechnology, and more. The lab is run jointly with the MAT group (Professor Tomoko Chikumoto), which works on laser applications and superconductivity.

The Power Laser Systems Engineering Group focuses on research and development of power lasers with the world's highest average output power. It also studies new laser materials, new methods of laser oscillation and amplification, and beam control technologies. The lab calls multipurpose systems that can be designed on demand through modularization “smart power lasers,” and aims at a wide range of applications including laser processing, fluorescence analysis, and laser fusion. Students are assigned to the lab as the cooperating research group “Laser Science Research Area” of the Quantum Information Electronics Section in the Division of Electrical, Electronic and Infocommunications Engineering, School and Graduate School of Engineering. Undergraduates who wish to join the lab must belong to the Quantum Information Electronics Course in the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering, School of Engineering.

The Nuclear Photonics Lab studies a new research field that combines nuclear physics and laser science. The lab conducts experiments using the high-power lasers GEKKO XII and LFEX at the Institute of Laser Engineering, as well as experiments and device development using relatively compact high-power laser systems that a single lab can operate. Its work ranges widely, from research aimed at realizing laser fusion energy to developing nondestructive testing technology using neutrons and research on boron neutron capture therapy for cancer. The lab has networks with research facilities in Japan and abroad, not only within the institute, so students can gain experience at a variety of research facilities.

The Plasma Photonics Lab aims to unravel high-energy-density states of matter by harnessing a variety of quantum beams. The lab accepts inquiries from researchers who want to try experiments on ultrahigh pressure and ultrahigh temperature, dynamic ultrahigh-pressure compression, and ultrahigh-speed impact, as well as ultrafast in situ observation of extreme environments. On the lab's website it is introduced under the name “Ozaki Lab,” and visit requests are accepted at any time.

The Ultra-Intense Field Science group studies high-energy-density plasmas and laser fusion using ultra-intense electric, magnetic, and radiation fields created by lasers. In fast ignition laser fusion, which is pursued at the institute, fusion fuel compressed to high density is heated in an instant by a high-intensity laser, with the aim of raising it to the temperature needed for ignition. The lab also works on astrophysics and nuclear science using intense fields, such as studying photoionized plasmas around black holes in the laboratory. The group is a cooperating group of the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka, and is located at the Institute of Laser Engineering.

The Laser Astrophysics group (LAP) is a lab that uses high-power lasers to test, in the laboratory, the fundamental processes of phenomena that occur in space. Its targets are collisionless shocks, cosmic-ray particle acceleration, and magnetic field generation, which are seen in supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei, and solar flares. The lab pursues these through both experiments with power lasers such as Gekko XII and LFEX, and theory and simulation. Students belong to the Department of Earth and Space Science, Graduate School of Science.

The Ultra-High Pressure Science group studies how to create ultrahigh-pressure states using shock waves that high-intensity lasers generate inside matter. The pressures obtained with lasers far exceed those at the center of the Earth (about 3.5 million atmospheres), reaching conditions inside Jupiter and at the center of the Sun. The lab is pioneering methods that control shock waves in time and space to create states above 1 billion atmospheres, and applies the resulting states to research on the interiors of the Earth and planets. It is also working on applications to materials processing technologies such as laser peening, and on developing fusion ignition schemes driven by shock waves.

The Extreme Plasma Engineering Division (Kuramitsu Lab) studies plasma science using high-power lasers. The lab recreates, on a small laboratory scale, the ultra-high-temperature, high-pressure world like the center of the Sun and the high-energy-density world found in distant space, in order to probe the mysteries of the universe. Students take part in research projects as members of the research team, and also join experiments at large laser facilities on and off campus. The lab is one of the research groups of the Institute of Laser Engineering, and its graduate students belong to the Division of Electrical, Electronic and Infocommunications Engineering in the Graduate School of Engineering.

The Laser Fusion Systems (LFS) group, at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, aims to design a laser fusion power reactor based on an understanding of materials. On the lab's website, the group is introduced as the "Shigemori Lab," which conducts research and development on igniting and burning fusion fuel with lasers, and research and development on laser processing using power lasers. According to the website, the Shigemori Lab is a cooperating research group of the Division of Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering in the Graduate School of Engineering. In addition to experiments using Osaka University's large laser facility Gekko XII, the lab also conducts experiments at facilities such as Kyoto University and Tohoku University.

Fusion Energy Dynamics (FED) belongs to the Laser Fusion Science Division of the Institute of Laser Engineering, and studies how energy moves inside a laser fusion reactor. Part of the energy generated by fusion reactions circulates through the reactor as energy and as fuel, changing form along the way. The challenge is to build a laser fusion reactor system that satisfies both of these at the same time. The lab works on blankets, fuel production, digital twins, and reactor design.
