The Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) is a scientific research facility which is part of the University of Rochester's south campus, located in Brighton, New York. The lab was established in 1970 with operations jointly funded by the United States Department of Energy, the University of Rochester and the New York State government. The Laser Lab was commissioned to investigate high-energy physics involving the interaction of extremely intense laser radiation with matter. Scientific experiments at the facility emphasize inertial confinement, direct drive, laser-induced fusion, fundamental plasma physics and astrophysics using the Omega Laser Facility. In June 1995, OMEGA became the world's highest-energy ultraviolet laser. The lab shares its building with the Center for Optoelectronics and Imaging and the Center for Optics Manufacturing. The Robert L. Sproull Center for Ultra High Intensity Laser Research was opened in 2005 and houses the OMEGA EP laser, which was completed in May 2008. More than 270 Ph.D.s have been awarded as of 2022 for research conducted at the LLE. During summer months the lab sponsors local-area high school juniors in research at the laboratory, with most of their projects led by senior scientists at the lab.

The Institute of Optics was founded in 1929 and is regarded among the premier optics programs in the world. The Departments of Political Science and Economics have influenced positivist social science since the 1960s. The Rossell Hope Robbins Library serves as the university's resource for Old and Middle English texts and expertise. The school is noted for its Rochester curriculum, which has only required one course and requires a breadth of study across fields.The university is also home to Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics, a national laboratory supported by the US Department of Energy that is the largest university-based US Department of Energy program in the nation The university is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity" and is a member of the Association of American Universities, which emphasizes academic research.Rochester alumni, faculty, and affiliates include recipients of 13 Nobel Prizes, 9 National Medals of Science, 13 Pulitzer Prizes, 45 Grammy Awards, and 20 Guggenheim Fellowships.
