SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Laser-surface processing for green Hydrogen and energy storage applications
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Panagiotis A. Loukakos (IESL-FORTH) \nIn this talk I will present our recent work on the application of laser-surface processing in the fabrication of nanostructured metallic electrodes. These electrodes have been found to exhibit enhanced electrochemical properties and they have been used in water-splitting electrochemical cells where we have found that they produce almost 5 times as much Hydrogen when compared with flat metallic electrodes. The enhanced Hydrogen evolution reactivity and electrochemical properties are attributed to the concomitant enlargement of the electrode’s electrocatalytic area due to the nanostructured surface. The details of the experiments as well as the impact of applications of lasers in the energy and environmental sectors will be discussed. \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This Laserlab-Europe Talk is coorganised by Laserlab-Europe\, Lasers4EU and 360Carla.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: From Telescopes to Fusion Powerplants: Real-Time Adaptive Optics for High-Power Lasers
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jonas B. Ohland (GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research) \nThe Apollon Real-Time Adaptive Optics (ARTAO) system addresses air turbulence-induced Strehl ratio fluctuations in Apollon\, the 10 PW Ti:Sapphire laser system in France. With a 50 m multi-pass amplifier and a 140 mm beam diameter\, turbulence previously caused significant beam quality instability. To resolve this\, the open-source AO platform CACAO\, originally developed for the Subaru Observatory\, was adapted for real-time beam stabilization using a continuous pilot beam. This marks a pioneering application of astronomical AO technology in ultra-high-intensity lasers. \nSupported by the EC funded THRILL project under its wavefront stabilization task\, ARTAO demonstrates a stability sufficient to achieve an on-shot Strehl ratio above 0.96 by evaluating 2.6 thousand wavefronts per second and controlling a deformable mirror at 1.3 kHz. \nThis technology has great potential for future applications: in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) powerplants\, real-time AO will be indispensable for operating hundreds of laser beamlines at 10 Hz\, delivering MJ-scale pulses with minimal aberrations. By integrating AO into Adaptive Laser Architecture (ALA)\, these systems can overcome thermal challenges and meet the demands of fusion energy production. \nThis presentation will detail ARTAO’s development\, initial results\, and its potential role in the future of high-energy laser systems. \n			\n				Watch the LLE Talk

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Compressive Raman imaging: a computational framework for high-speed chemical microscopy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hilton B. de Aguiar (CNRS\, Laboratoire Kastler Brossel and Ecole Normale Superieure)\n \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Raman imaging is recognized as a powerful label-free approach to provide contrasts based on chemical selectivity. Nevertheless\, Raman-based microspectroscopy still have drawbacks precluding high-speed chemical imaging. The main issue is the inherent high data throughput in microspectroscopy: fast spectral imaging is challenging for dynamic and large-scale imaging due to its data acquisition\, processing and representation change (from vibrational resonances amplitudes to chemicals concentration) procedures. \nThese challenges can be overcome by exploiting the concept of compressive Raman imaging: by leveraging the sparsity [1] and redundancy [2] in Raman data sets\, one can develop computational procedures to considerably simplify and speed up the spectral image acquisition. Exploiting such framework\, we have recently reached speeds compatible with video-rate imaging [3] by detecting just a handful of photons. \nIn this presentation\, I will introduce and discuss the different ways of performing compressive Raman\, in particular focusing on challenges for bio-imaging\, and also show more recent results applied to long-time imaging of electrochemical systems [4]. \nReferences\n[1] Sturm et al\, ACS Photon. 6\, 1409 (2019); Scotte et al.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Next generation time-domain diffuse optics using superconducting nanowire detectors
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lisa Kobayashi (ICFO\, Spain)\n \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is an established diffuse optical method which non-invasively measures regional\, microvascular blood flow from laser speckles.  Although the utility of DCS has been demonstrated in clinical trials relating to a variety of clinical conditions\, limited signal to noise have restricted the use of DCS to measure\, for example\, through hair or blood flow in very deeper tissue.  Recently\, another diffuse optical technique closely related to DCS\, speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS)\, has been gaining interest due to its ability to overcome the limitations of DCS by measuring laser speckle intensity statistics using detector arrays.  In this talk\, I will discuss advances made to push the boundaries of DCS and SCOS techniques by using pulsed lasers at longer wavelengths (beyond 1000 nm) and state-of-the art superconducting nanowire arrays. \nICFO is partner of the EIC Pathfinder project fastMOT. The project aims to develop an innovative light sensing solution\, a fast gated\, ultra-high quantum efficiency single-photon sensor\, to enable multifunctional deep body imaging with diffuse optics. With its Multifunctional Optical Tomograph (MOT) the project partners will be able to image deep organ and optical structures and monitor body functions including oxygenation\, haemodynamics\, perfusion and metabolism.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Laser illumination in classical and super-resolution multicolor microscopy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adrien Mau (Abbelight\, France)   \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Microscopy is the art of observation of the infinitely small. However\, one cannot observe an object without collecting light from it\, and thus first sending light at it. \nWe will present how laser illumination coupled to smart optomechanical devices improved the traditional sample illumination methods. Notably\, our company Abbelight has pushed ASTER\, a strategy which delivers homogeneous and versatile illumination via fast control of laser positions. This will be applied to the principle of fluorescence microscopy\, which allows to image specific biological structures. \n \nFigure 1 : Fluorescence microscopy images of mitochondria\, in various illuminations schemes \nMoreover\, specific properties of light propagation can be used to perform optical sectioning\, such as oblique imaging and TIRF. \nFinally\, the high power of lasers coupled with the adaptability of ASTER can be used in Single Molecule Localization Microscopy\, an innovative field that can yield resolutions down to tens of nanometer but typically require high laser power (2kW/cm²). By coupling a variety of strategies and making best use of our laser light\, we can perform super resolution imaging on wide fields of view\, with 3D modalities and for up to three different biological structures. \n \nFigure 2 : three-dimensional imaging of clathrin (left) and microtubule (right) via ASTER illumination and a multicolor demixing method \nAbbelight is partner of the EIC Transition project nanoSCAN. The project aims to transform tissue analysis with a novel 3D spatial biology platform that provides crucial insights into cellular and tissue functions.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Attosecond interferometry
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nirit Dudovich (Weizmann Institute of Science\, Israel)   \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				High harmonic generation (HHG) spectroscopy has been successfully applied over the past two decades to resolve fundamental strong-field phenomena in atoms\, molecules and solids. An important aspect of HHG spectroscopy lies in its coherent nature. The strong-field interaction directly transfers the coherence of the laser field into the coherent properties of the electronic wavefunction that interacts with the field\, and back into the optical properties of the emitted harmonics. Resolving the internal coherence is key to reconstructing the internal dynamics\, being one of the primary challenges in HHG spectroscopy. As in many other branches of physics\, the presence of coherence is determined through interferometry. In this talk\, I will describe advanced schemes for attosecond interferometry. The application of these schemes provides direct insights into a range of fundamental phenomena in nature – from field induced tunneling [1] in atomic systems to subcycle dynamics in condense matter systems [2-4]. \nReferences [1] O.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Radiation sources based on laser plasma interaction and applications in materials science
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Teresa Cebriano Ramírez (CLPU\, Spain)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				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 1Hz)\, VEGA- 2 of 200 TW and VEGA-1 of 20 TW (both up to 10 Hz). The interaction of these pulses with matter (in solid\, liquid or gaseous states) generates different plasma states and in turn\, the emission of different particle beams with different energy ranges. \nThese are protons (few keV up to 20 MeV) and ion sources\, electrons (up to 500 MeV)\, neutrons\, X-rays and gamma rays. All these sources provide a direct application in the field of materials characterization and synthesis such as PIXE (particle induced X-ray emission)\, PIGE (particle induced gamma ray emission)\, EDX\, imaging\, X-ray fluorescence\, lithography (p-writing) or ion implantation. In addition\, radiation hardness tests of materials and devices can be performed with direct laser irradiation (damage threshold). Furthermore\, the experimental conditions of laser-plasma interaction resemble those of space and planetary ambient which makes them valid for equipment and electronics commissioning for space missions. \nFinally\, the CLPU provides also a laser micro processing station\, possibility of nanoparticle production\, interaction with biological tissues and microsurgery\, fabrication of photonic elements\, etc. The Centre also has all the required resources to set up different spectroscopical analysis techniques as tools for control and diagnose in situ the micro processing as Laser induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). \nThis Talk is part of a series of webinars where Laserlab-Europe members introduce their techniques available to academic and industry users in the field of recyclable materials.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Lasers\, related radiation sources and diagnostics at ENEA-Frascati for applications to material science\, radiation hardness of materials and components
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Fabrizio Consoli (ENEA\, Italy)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				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 Maiman’s experiment [1]. The activity has embraced over the years different laser approaches and regimes. In the frame of high energy and high intensity lasers\, the “ABC laser facility” has been operating here for many years. It is a Nd: phosphate glass laser delivering two beams of 100 J energy each\, for intensity on target up to the PW/cm2 level. It is equipped with an extremely large number of diagnostics for the description of the laser-produced plasma and electromagnetic and particle radiation\, allowing a very good characterization of the interaction. It has been historically used for experiments of inertial confinement fusion and laser-plasma interaction\, and it has been recently employed also for the use of the produced radiation for other applications such as material testing\, biology\, sensor calibration\, thanks also to a patent recently issued. The diagnostics includes a four-frame time resolved shadowgraphy and interpherometry for the description of plasma evolution during time\, two Thomson spectrometers and an array of time-of-flight detectors for ion and plasma spectroscopy (including Faraday cups\, diamond sensors and a large area scintillator)\, an X-ray transmission grating and two arrays of X-ray diodes with different filters for time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy\, one X-ray and two optical streak cameras\, two X-ray gated cameras\, several probes for radiofrequency-microwave fields\, imaging plate and CR39 sensors. The experimental activity has always been performed together with theoretical activity and development of tailored numerical codes and diagnostics development. \nThe ENEA FEL group operates in Frascati since the very beginning of the FEL era and continues to investigate the FEL emission mechanisms in different operating regimes\, both theoretically and experimentally. In ENEA-Centro Ricerche Frascati a research program started in the mid 80’ for the realization of compact Free Electron Lasers (FELs) operating in the long wavelength part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The “Compact FEL” is based on a 5 MeV Microtron powered by a 2 MW Magnetron. The electron energy can range from 2.5 MeV to 5.5 MeV. The electron beam performances are suitable for millimetre (MM) and sub-millimetre (sub-MM) operation. The source generates radiation over a wide band emission spectrum of around 150 GHz with a power level of about 1.5 kW over a macro-bunch duration of 4 microsecond\, and a peak power of about 10 kW over a bunch length of 15 ps. The ENEA Compact FEL is part of the larger CETRA infrastructure\, that includes many other different sources operating in a wide spectral region\, ranging from microwaves up to the infrared region. Most of these CETRA sources exhibit a low power output and are suitable for spectroscopic studies in several application fields. Many applied activities have been conducted over the years on electron dynamic studies in solid state devices\, biological studies\, cultural heritage diagnostics and agricultural diagnostics. \nReferences \n[1] P.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Some representative results on planetology of laboratory at LULI
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alessandra Benuzzi-Mounaix (CNRS-LULI\, France)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				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 properties required for modelling their interiors are currently lacking. In addition to exoplanet modelling\, important controversies also remain for the planets constituting our solar system. The knowledge of basic physical properties of materials composing the planetary interiors is fundamental to understand important phenomena such as magnetic field generation or luminosity. Planetology in laboratory is a domain devoted to characterize matter at planetary interior conditions by recreating in a controlled laboratory environment these conditions. Here\, I present a summary of relevant results obtained mainly on LULI2000 using shock and alternative compression methods coupled with visible and X-ray diagnostics. We focused our efforts on pure and mixed H2O and NH3 [1-3] as well as MgO-SiO2 systems [4] that are relevant for planetary interiors. We measured equations of state\, reflectivity along the principal Hugoniot\, as well as some off-Hugoniot conditions (using static and dynamic pre-compression [4]). We also developed the X-ray diffraction diagnostic to obtain information on structural changes in situ [5]. \nReferences \n[1] A.Ravasio et al “Metallization of Shock-Compressed Liquid Ammonia” Phys.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Towards sustainability by applications of laser processing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Juraj Sládek (HiLASE\, Czech Republic)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Laser material processing\, aside from cutting and welding applications\, is also applicable for advanced surface modification of a broad range of materials. This includes surface functionalization to achieve superhydrophobic\, self-cleaning or passive antibacterial surfaces\, reduced friction and wear of metallic components\, increased surface area for battery electrodes and more. In addition\, a technique of Laser Shock Peening (LSP) is used to extend lifespan of mechanical components. Many of these methods can help us to improve functionality of products with an impact beneficial to the environment. \nIn this talk\, several laser processing applications will be discussed and demonstrated on use cases. \nThis Talk is part of a series of webinars where Laserlab-Europe members introduce their techniques available to academic and industry users in the field of recyclable materials.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Multi-pass cells - quasi-guiding systems for laser pulse post-compression and advanced nonlinear optics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christoph Heyl (DESY\, Germany)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				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 conversion schemes. As a hybrid concept bridging free-space and guided-wave nonlinear optics\, MPCs overcome several limitations of traditional nonlinear optics approaches. Here\, I discuss the underlying principles and possibilities of nonlinear MPCs\, as well as selected recent results.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Multimodal and Multiscalar Hyperspectral Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alessia Candeo (POLIMI\, Italy)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				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. Typically\, HSI systems rely on spectral or spatial filters\, which can constrain the acquisition throughput. We propose an innovative approach based on Fourier Transform\, in which a compact birefringent interferometer is optically coupled to a camera\, facilitating straightforward multimodal studies across multiple scales. Various methods and applications will be showcased\, we the intent of demonstrating the potential uses. \nThis Talk is part of a series of webinars where Laserlab-Europe members introduce their techniques available to academic and industry users in the field of recyclable materials.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Scientific fundamentals and practice of Photoacoustic Tomography
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Fábio A. Schaberle (CLL\, Portugal)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is based on the absorption of light by endogenous or exogenous molecules – organic or inorganic – and the subsequent generation of acoustic waves resulting of the rapid deposition of heat upon deactivation of the excited electronic states of these molecules. In practice\, PAT is used to imaging small animals\, e.g. mice\, using pulsed laser light with wavelengths capable of penetrating biological tissues (680nm-2300nm) and activating specific chromophores. The great advantages of PAT are the molecular contrast provided by the selective absorption of light and the resolution (microns) obtained by the high frequencies of acoustic waves.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: RGB lasers in dermatology and endoscopy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Janis Spigulis (University of Latvia) \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				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 to the collimated output beam\, RGB laser radiation can be efficiently launched in optical fibers which open new application prospects\, including uniform three laser line illumination for highly sensitive spectral imaging to improve performance of clinical diagnostics in dermatology and endoscopy. \nThis talk provides insight into the principles and methodology of triple spectral line imaging under RGB laser-fiber illumination\, and its implementation in lab-made prototype devices. For assessment of skin malformations\, two RGB laser based prototypes were developed – one for examination of relatively small skin areas (~2-3 cm in diameter) and one for spectral line imaging of larger skin areas of typical dimensions ~40-80 cm\, suitable also for full-body skin diagnostic imaging. The obtained three spectral line images are further transformed into distribution maps of three main skin chromophores to help clinicians in diagnosing the malformations with higher precision and reliability. For assessment of mucosa pathologies\, a triple RGB laser line illumination system to replace the traditional white light endoscopic illumination has been developed. Some clinical examples will be discussed\, as well; clinical tests of the developed devices are underways.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: A multi-MeV Alpha Particle Source via Proton-Boron fusion driven by a 10-GW Tabletop Laser
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Valeria Istokskaia (ELI Beamlines\, Czech Republic)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Nuclear fusion between protons and boron-11 nuclei has undergone a revival of interest thanks to the rapid progress in pulsed laser technology. Potential applications of such reaction range from controlled nuclear fusion to radiobiology and cancer therapy. A laser-driven fusion approach consists in the interaction of high-power\, high-intensity pulses with H- and B-rich targets. We report on a pioneering experiment exploiting proton-boron fusion in CH/BN targets to obtain high-energy alpha particle beams (up to 5 MeV) using a compact approach and a tabletop laser system with a peak power of ~10 GW\, which can operate at high-repetition rate (up to 1 kHz). The secondary resonance in the cross section of proton-boron fusion (~150 keV in the center-of-mass frame) is exploited for the first time using a laser-based approach. The generated alpha particles are characterized in terms of energy\, flux\, and angular distribution using solid-state nuclear-track detectors\, demonstrating a flux of ~105 particles per second at 10 Hz\, and ~106 per second at 1 kHz. Numerical hydrodynamic and particle-in-cell simulations support our experimental findings. Potential impact of our approach on future spread of ultra-compact\, multi-MeV alpha particle sources driven by moderate intensity (1016-1017 W/cm2) laser pulses is anticipated.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gerhard Paulus (Helmholtz Institute Jena\, Germany)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				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 the effect and X-ray lasers for probing it. Quite obviously\, the performance of the required X-ray polarimeters is the decisive bottleneck: an extinction ratio of 1011 or better is required. Gerhard Paulus and his team have been working since more than 10 years to remove the bottleneck. He will report how close they have come to the feasibility of a promising demonstration of vacuum birefringence. He will also explain how to design a reasonable experiment and which mistakes to avoid.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Complex molecules in stellar nurseries
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sandra Bruenken (FELIX Laboratory\, Netherlands)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Complex organic molecules\, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)\, are found in a large variety of astronomical environments\, including low temperature and low density molecular clouds in the interstellar medium which are the birthplaces of new stars and planets. Laboratory astrophysical studies on chemical reaction pathways under astronomically relevant conditions are crucial to interpret astronomical observations and as input for simulations in astrochemical networks. Of similar importance are spectroscopic studies of the often elusive\, but essential\, molecular reaction partners\, intermediates and products that yield fundamental insights on their structure\, and provide spectroscopic signatures needed for their identification in space. \nCryogenic ion traps have proven to be ideal tools for studying ion-molecule reactions under controlled conditions and enable sensitive spectroscopic studies of mass-selected\, cold\, and isolated molecular ions. Here\, Sandra Bruenken will describe the combination of such a cryogenic 22-pole ion trap instrument with the widely tunable infrared free electron lasers at the FELIX Laboratory [1]. Infrared action-spectroscopy is used to structurally characterize isomeric ions formed upon (dissociative) ionization of neutral species\, allowing us to unravel their fragmentation processes (top-down processes). Very recently\, they developed a novel combination of ion-molecule reactivity studies and infrared spectroscopy to elucidate and disentangle formation routes of complex molecules (bottom-up processes) at astronomically relevant temperatures\, and have in this way identified an efficient low-temperature PAH-growth pathway from mono- to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [2]. \nReferences \n[1] P.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Extreme plasma physics with lasers and in astro
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Luis Silva (IST\, Portugal)  \n			\n				Watch the Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Many extreme astrophysical scenarios share common underlying microphysics with laboratory scenarios with relativistic particle beams and ultra-intense lasers. In these conditions\, collective plasma effects driven by relativistic flows\, ultra-high field intensities\, and quantum electrodynamics effects are intertwined. In many scenarios\, these relativistic and quantum effects can have direct consequences on the collective plasma dynamics. \nThe underlying first principle mechanisms are highly nonlinear\, and occur at scales far from the plasma or the object scales\, making these processes intrinsically multi-scale\, and thus requiring a combination of theory and large-scale numerical simulations for a detailed analysis. The conditions under which extreme plasma physics can be relevant will be discussed\, along with the recent progress (from large-scale simulations of compact objects to multi-dimensional ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions)\, illustrating how ultra-intense electromagnetic fields approaching the critical Schwinger field impact the collective plasma dynamics. This interplay will be emphasized\, and the main challenges and open questions will be presented. \nWork partially supported by the European Research Council (AdG InPairs).

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Dual Comb Spectroscopy for Electronic Fingerprint Spectroscopy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt (Graz University of Technology\, Austria)  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dual Comb Spectroscopy combines high spectral resolution with broad spectral coverage and short measurement times. In the recent years\, this spectroscopic method has proven its capabilities in molecular spectroscopy in different spectral regions ranging from the visible across the infrared spectral region into the THz domain [1-3]. The UV has so far been neglected for fingerprinting although electron transitions are as element specific as rovibrational transitions and the corresponding absorption cross sections can be huge (> 100 Mb). Especially molecular gasses of astrophysical and environmental relevance have strong and congested absorption characteristics in this spectral region (few examples: NO2\, CO\, SO2\, HCHO). Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt will present their latest efforts on expanding dual comb spectroscopy via non-linear frequency up-conversion into the ultraviolet region. The challenges include UV frequency comb generation with a high photon flux\, efficient UV interferometry and fast UV signal detection [4]. \nBirgitta Schultze-Bernhardt is a university professor at the Institute of Experimental Physics at TU Graz\, Austria. Schultze-Bernhardt`s research focus involves the development of ultraviolet frequency comb generation for high resolution molecular spectroscopy. \nReferences \nB. Bernhardt\, A. Ozawa\, P.
