Speaker: Sandra Bruenken (FELIX Laboratory, Netherlands) Complex organic molecules, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are found in a large variety of astronomical environments, including low temperature and low density molecular […]
Speaker: Gerhard Paulus (Helmholtz Institute Jena, Germany) Strong electromagnetic fields polarize vacuum such that it becomes birefringent. Not surprisingly, the effect is tiny, even if petawatt-class lasers are used for inducing […]
Speaker: Valeria Istokskaia (ELI Beamlines, Czech Republic) Nuclear fusion between protons and boron-11 nuclei has undergone a revival of interest thanks to the rapid progress in pulsed laser technology. Potential […]
Speaker: Janis Spigulis (University of Latvia)RGB lasers that emit simultaneously three spectral lines (red, green and blue) are gaining increased applications, mainly related to color projections and color TV. Thanks […]
Speaker: Jens Biegert (ICFO, Spain) A standing challenge in material and molecular sciences is identifying how excitation dissipates. Jens Biegert will show that attosecond soft x-ray spectroscopy provides a powerful […]
Speaker: Fábio A. Schaberle (CLL, Portugal) Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is based on the absorption of light by endogenous or exogenous molecules – organic or inorganic – and the subsequent generation […]
Speaker: Alessia Candeo (POLIMI, Italy) Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a powerful technique that couples optical imaging with spectroscopy, allowing for the acquisition of spatially resolved spectral data from a sample. […]
Speaker: Christoph Heyl (DESY, Germany) Nonlinear multi-pass cells (MPCs) have brought exciting opportunities to the field of ultrafast optics, ranging from major advances in post-compressed ultrafast lasers to novel frequency […]
Speaker: Juraj Sládek (HiLASE, Czech Republic) Laser material processing, aside from cutting and welding applications, is also applicable for advanced surface modification of a broad range of materials. This includes […]
Speaker: Alessandra Benuzzi-Mounaix (CNRS-LULI, France) While the number of exoplanets detected is growing at such an incredible pace as to make them a new class of astrophysical objects, the physical […]
Speaker: Fabrizio Consoli (ENEA, Italy) The ENEA-Centro Ricerche Frascati has a very long-standing tradition on lasers and applications. The first laser operated here in the ‘60s, just after the first […]
Speaker: Teresa Cebriano Ramírez (CLPU, Spain) The CLPU operates VEGA, a multi Terawatt laser system composed by three independent and synchronized 30 fs long pulses: VEGA-3 of 1 PW (at […]
