Novel Detectors

CELIA (Bordeaux, France)

2023-09-29T09:42:55Z

CELIA is a centre of excellence in lasers and their interaction with matter. Research is performed on laser development, ultra-short intense laser matter interactions and applications, from the physics of hot dense plasmas to laser-molecule or laser-atom interactions. 3 state-of-the art laser drivers based on Ti:sapphire and Yb:fiber feed 9 fully-equipped end-stations including secondary XUV and X-ray sources.

CLF (Oxfordshire, UK)

2024-08-29T14:47:10Z

The CLF offers access to five unique laser facilities for multi-disciplinary research. VULCAN operates two target areas: a high energy 1 PW capability and a synchronised 100 TW & 2 kJ/ns capability, both with very flexible configurations for research in high energy density science. GEMINI offers a unique synchronised dual beam capability with 0.5 PW beams operating at one shot every 20 seconds, focussing on plasma accelerators and the generation and application of secondary sources. ARTEMIS has three beamlines utilising HHG, at 1 kHz/800 nm/200 eV and 100 kHz/1700 nm/1 keV (due online shortly), with a wide suite of end stations for pump-probe experiments in ultrafast XUV science. ULTRA is an ultrafast pump-probe laser spectroscopy facility, combining laser, detector and sample manipulation technology to probe ultrafast molecular dynamics. OCTOPUS: a suite of imaging and laser trapping capabilities, such as super-resolution (including cryogenic), confocal, and light sheet microscopy, single molecule imaging/tracking, and focused ion beam SEM.

CLPU (Salamanca, Spain)

2024-06-13T07:40:36Z

CLPU operates VEGA, a multi Terawatt laser system composed by three independent and synchronised 30 fs long Ti:Sa based-laser pulses: VEGA-3 of 1 PW (at 1Hz), VEGA- 2 of 200 TW and VEGA-1 of 20 TW (both up to 10 Hz). Besides its architecture, the uniqueness of VEGA is that it is a petawatt-class laser system of high-repetition rate.

CUSBO (Milan, Italy)

2024-06-13T07:37:01Z

CUSBO covers a broad range of activities of interdisciplinary nature. Several unique state of the art sources provide few-cycle light pulses, either widely-tunable or of high peak power seeding attosecond beamlines, for pump-probe experiments. Advanced laser workstations mostly based on time-resolved measurements are also applied to non-invasive clinical diagnostics, biological imaging, and non-destructive analysis of food and cultural heritage.

HILASE (Dolni Břežany, Czech Republic)

2020-03-06T08:55:00Z

HiLASE operates two diode-pumped Yb:YAG solid state laser facilities: Bivoj, delivering over 1 kW of average power in 105 J, 10 ns pulses at 10 Hz, for laser shock peening and ion generation, and Perla, a high average power laser platform generating < 2 ps pulses in broad spectral region from 206 nm to 3 microns for laser processing.

HZDR (Dresden, Germany)

2022-03-21T13:45:46Z

Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf, Germany

LLC (Lund, Sweden)

2023-09-29T09:44:56Z

Located in Lund, in the south of Sweden, the LLC is the largest unit in the Scandinavian countries in the field of lasers and their use in spectroscopy, diagnostics and analysis. Its research programme ranges from atomic physics and attoscience to medical diagnostics and treatment, from fundamental quantum information and single-molecule spectroscopy to applied laser diagnostics of industrial processes.

MBI (Berlin, Germany)

2022-03-21T13:47:55Z

MBI conducts basic research in nonlinear optics, ultrafast dynamics, the interaction of matter with laser light, and into the resulting applications. It develops and utilizes ultrashort and ultrafast lasers and laser-based short-pulse light sources in a wide spectral range in conjunction with nonlinear spectroscopy methods, as well as combining lasers with x-ray pulses from free electron lasers and synchrotrons.
