  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Adapting to an emerging pandemic to find a role for medical optics in COVID-19 patients and more

    Online

    Speaker: Turgut Durduran (ICFO, Spain) When COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns started, we sought to evaluate whether our technologies for evaluating tissue oxygen metabolism and hermodynamics with photonics could be helpful. A sequence of coincidences, bright postdocoral fellows and an overworked intensive care physician with an amazing insight into the needs came together for us to embark […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Matterwave Optics as a key Quantum Technology

    Online

    Speaker: Wolf von Klitzing (ULF-FORTH, Greece) The famous particle-wave duality states that all particles are waves and all waves are particles. Most of us are aware of the fact that light can be thought of consisting of photons. It is less well known that atoms can behave just like (matter)waves, which can be manipulated in […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: AI for X-ray scattering

    Online

    Speaker: Nico Hoffmann (HZDR, Germany) The long term and sustainable success of the X-ray community essentially depends on its ability to meet growing challenges in handling and analyzing data of increasing volume and complexity. Machine Learning (ML) provide a smart solution enabling dramatically increasing the output of X-ray scattering facilities regarding acceleration of the data […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Investigations of Laser-Plasma Interaction and hot electron generation in Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion: approaching to the Shock Ignition irradiation regime

    Online

    Speaker: Gabriele Cristoforetti (INO-CNR, Italy)  One of the main concerns of Shock Ignition (SI) scheme to Inertial Confinement Fusion is the growth of parametric instabilities in the plasma corona, such as Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS), Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) and Two Plasmon Decay (TPD). Their extent can be tremendous during the interaction of the high […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Laser microscopy for the study of infectious disease

    Online

    Speaker: Dave Clarke (CLF, UK) Infectious diseases of humans, animals, and plants have very significant societal and economic impacts. The COVID-19 pandemic is an obvious example, and another major threat is the increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Climate change is bringing increasing pressure on crops, making them more susceptible to diseases, with potentially serious consequences […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: KiMoPack – A python Package for Kinetic Modeling of the Chemical Mechanism

    Online

    Speaker: Jens Uhlig (Lund University, Sweden) Jens Uhlig (Lund University, Sweden) will present KiMoPack, an analysis tool for the kinetic modeling of transient spectroscopic data. KiMoPack enables a state-of-the-art analysis routine including data preprocessing and standard fitting (global analysis), as well as fitting of complex (target) kinetic models, interactive viewing of (fit) results, and multi-experiment […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Dual Comb Spectroscopy for Electronic Fingerprint Spectroscopy

    Online

    Speaker: Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt (Graz University of Technology, Austria) 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 . The […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Extreme plasma physics with lasers and in astro

    Online

    Speaker: Luis Silva (IST, Portugal) 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 […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Complex molecules in stellar nurseries

    Online

    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 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 […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Towards the detection of vacuum birefringence

    Online

    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 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 […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: A multi-MeV Alpha Particle Source via Proton-Boron fusion driven by a 10-GW Tabletop Laser

    Online

    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 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 […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: RGB lasers in dermatology and endoscopy

    Online

    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 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 […]
