Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

How we got this date

NSF lists this award's end date as 31 January 2031.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 31 May 2031.

Abstract

High-power lasers that provide ultrashort pulses of intense light are a critical technology for fundamental science and a range of industrial, medical, and national security applications. The key constraint on laser power and performance is damage to glass and metal optics: to prevent high-power lasers from destroying themselves, their optics must be large. The size and expense of large optics make higher laser…
