Innovative Lasing Schemes

CELIA (Bordeaux, France)

2023-09-29T10:42:55+01:00

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.

CLPU (Salamanca, Spain)

2024-06-13T08:40:36+01:00

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.

HILASE (Dolni Břežany, Czech Republic)

2020-03-06T09:55:00+01:00

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.

ICFO (Barcelona, Spain)

2023-10-17T09:07:03+01:00

ICFO aims to advance the very limits of knowledge in Photonics, namely the science and technology of harnessing Light for fundamental physics, chemistry, material science, and applications in biological and medical research. Within ICFO, the SLN lab is equipped with cutting edge microscopy techniques and performs continuous development to provide unique features. The research programs cover a wide range of applications, from super resolution to mesoscopic levels. We collaborate with industry, hospitals and research centres. Our systems are available to all type of end-users. We provide training that can be accommodated to any type of user.

LENS (Florence, Italy)

2022-03-21T14:46:49+01:00

LENS, the European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy, is a center of excellence at the University of Florence. Research interests include photonics, biophysics, chemistry and atomic physics. Three different main research areas (BIOPHOTONICS, PHOTONIC MATERIALS, ATOMIC PHYSICS) and more than twenty research topics, corresponding to active laboratories, are presently running.

LOA (Palaiseau, France)

2022-03-21T14:47:25+01:00

LOA has played a pioneering role in the development of ultrafast laser-matter science at high intensities and related new concept of ultrafast lasers and secondary sources (electrons, protons, EUV, X-ray and gamma-rays, THz). LOA was one of the founders of the LASERLAB community. LOA develops cutting-edge advanced programs to answer scientific and societal challenges.

VULRC (Vilnius, Lithuania)

2023-09-29T10:38:34+01:00

Vilnius University Laser Research Center (VULRC) hosts a number of laboratories dedicated to fundamental and applied laser research. The research topics include but are not limited to laser micromachining, nanophotonics, standardized metrology of optical components, development of novel laser and parametric sources, investigation of nonlinear phenomena in the NIR and MIR spectral ranges, generation and application of broadband terahertz pulses, time-resolved spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy.
