国家点火装置（NIF）将使用大约8000个大型光学装置携带高功率激光穿过体育场大小的建筑，并且将在非常紧张的时间表和预算下完成。并置光学组装大楼（OAB）将在洁净室环境中组装和对齐NIF的大型光学器件，这是在此类环境中组装的最大光学器件。此外，OAB必须允许及时处理和清洁转移到光学器件将被使用的区域。通过使用现成的和新设计的设备的混合物，并通过与行业合作，我们开发了创新的处理系统，以执行各种光学器件所需的清洁装配和精确校准，以及装配后检查。我们还开发了一套装载机制，可以安全地将干净的光学器件送到NIF主楼。
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) will use about 8,000 large optics to carry a high-power laser through a stadium- size building, and will do so on a very tight schedule and budget. The collocated Optics Assembly Building (OAB) will assemble and align, in a clean-room environment, the NIF's large optics, which are the biggest optics ever assembled in such an environment. In addition, the OAB must allow for just-in-time processing and clean transfer to the areas where the optics will be used. By using a mixture of off- the-shelf and newly designed equipment and by working with industry, we have developed innovative handling systems to perform the clean assembly and precise alignment required for the full variety of optics, as well as for postassembly inspection. We have also developed a set of loading mechanisms that safely get the clean optics to their places in the main NIF building.
