High photon flux sources from EUV to mid-IR

Homepage: www.iap.uni-jena.de

Most scientific and industrial applications ask for coherent laser sources in a variety of spectral regions with high repetition rate and high photon flux. To address this need we investigate new performance scaling approaches of ultrafast laser sources in the near infrared and their frequency conversion towards shorter wavelengths (UV, EUV and X-rays) as well as longer wavelengths towards the mid-infrared. As a result of these efforts the sources, which are developed in the group, are among the world's most powerful lasers.
