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 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, […]
Speaker: Nirit Dudovich (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel) 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 […]
Speaker: Adrien Mau (Abbelight, France) 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. We will present how laser illumination coupled to smart optomechanical devices improved the traditional sample illumination methods. Notably, our company Abbelight has […]
Speaker: Lisa Kobayashi (ICFO, Spain) 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, […]
Speaker: Hilton B. de Aguiar (CNRS, Laboratoire Kastler Brossel and Ecole Normale Superieure) 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 […]
Speaker: Jonas B. Ohland (GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research) The 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 […]
