Xcimer Energy

Xcimer Energy is a fusion energy startup focused on developing a commercial fusion power plant. Their approach is modeled after the National Ignition Facility (NIF) and utilizes powerful excimer lasers, specifically krypton-fluoride lasers, to achieve controlled fusion reactions. The company aims to leverage more powerful and less complex lasers to make fusion power profitable. They have recently activated their 'Phoenix' laser system, which they claim is the largest privately owned laser in the world. Xcimer plans to complete a prototype in 2028, followed by a larger system, with the goal of building its first commercial-scale power plant in the mid-2030s.
