• Laserlab-Europe Talk: Multi-photon 3D lithography for sub-100 nm additive manufacturing of inorganics

    Online

    Speaker: Mangirdas Malinauskas (VULRC, Lithuania) 3D micro-/nano-structures enables miniaturization and enhancement of functionalities and integrations of devices for the fields of photonics, microfluidics, micromechanics, microelectronics, and microoptics. Multi-photon lithography (also widely known as two-photon polymerization) as a laser direct writing technique offers flexibility to produce 3D structures for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing purposes. Recent […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Ignition, a dream that came true

    Online

    Speaker: Sébastien le Pape (CNRS-LULI, France) Fusion energy has been the driving force in the High Energy Density (HED) community for more than fifty years but especially since the start of the National Ignition Campaign in 2009 on the National Ignition facility (LLNL, USA). The National Ignition Campaign, though a marvel in term of laser […]

  • 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 […]
