SUMMARY:School on "Ultrafast phenomena in Chemistry: Laser-matter interactions at the femto- and atto-second time scales"
DESCRIPTION:Registration deadline: April 17\, 2026 \nFemtosecond and attosecond laser technologies have been impressively developed in the last decades. The Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023\, awarded to the “experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”\, using high-order harmonic generation (HHG) techniques\, have further pushed the scientific interest on the applications of this laser technology to manipulate matter. Attochemistry\, understood as the possibility of manipulating chemical reactions by acting at the electron dynamics at its natural timescale\, is currently under test and require of accurate theoretical methods to interpret and guide novel experiments in this field. The description of light-matter interactions is thus a requirement to understand a variety of phenomena of interest in Chemistry\, Biology\, Engineering and Physics [1\,2]. Charge transfer processes\, redox reactivity\, photosynthesis\, protein folding\, and electron transport efficiency in photovoltaic materials are just a few examples of fundamental processes initiated by light [3\,4]. Femto- and attosecond laser technologies now enable the acquisition of time-resolved images of nuclear dynamics and rearrangements in chemical reactions [5]\, occurring on the scale of tens of femtoseconds (1 fs = 10-15 seconds) to picoseconds (1 ps = 10-12 seconds)\, and the observation of electron dynamics proceeding in the attosecond range (1 as = 10-18) [6]. Coherent laser sources capable of extracting information with high spatial (atomic) and temporal (down to attoseconds) resolution are available in many laboratories worldwide\, include table-top setups using the above mentioned HHG technology\, but also large free-electron laser facilities [4\,7]\, where sub-femtosecond pulses are also achievable nowadays. These sources produce laser pulses across a wide range of frequencies\, and an increasing number of experiments and applications are being developed to drive excitation and ionization processes in molecules [1\,2\,7-9]. In traditional photochemistry studies\, excitation typically targets a specific electronic state. However\, the use of ultrashort pulses (a few femtoseconds or even attoseconds) [6] can initiate an electronic response characterized not by a stationary state but by a molecular wave packet involving multiple electronic states. Consequently\, stationary-state models based on lowest-order perturbation theory are often inapplicable\, necessitating the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The first step is thus to accurately describe these light-induced electronic dynamics\, which requires a proper characterization of both light and matter. Few methodologies implemented in standardized software packages accurately describe the initial wave packet created by interaction with ultrashort pulses during excitation and/or ionization. Moreover\, laser parameters such as frequency\, pulse duration\, and intensity are critically important to the observed dynamics. \nThis course aims to provide a comprehensive foundation in the theoretical principles underlying the interaction of coherent light pulses with molecules. Through a series of in-depth tutorials\, students will explore ultrafast electron and nuclear dynamics in various scenarios\, ranging from traditional weak-field approaches to strong-field light-induced phenomena. The Key components of the course include (both via tutorials and practical sessions): i) Pulse Characterization Techniques [10] and Signal Analysis: Introduction to methods employed in High-Order Harmonic Generation (HHG) [11] laboratories and Free Electron Laser (FEL) facilities. ii) Theoretical Background and detailed exploration of weak-field and strong-field light-induced phenomena. iii) Discussion on applications and hands-on experience with open-source codes for describing light in time and frequency domains\, and its interaction with molecules using various laser parameters. iv) DFT and TDDFT Approaches: Extensive tutorials and practical sessions on using OCTOPUS software [12\,13] to describe light-induced phenomena in large molecules and biomolecules. The course is organized into blocks of tutorials and practical sessions\, enabling students to engage with the latest applications of ultrashort laser pulses in Chemistry. \nThis course is designed for Master’s level students and early-stage PhD students in Chemistry and Physics. It is particularly suited for theoretical quantum chemists\, and both experimental and theoretical physicists working with light sources or in related fields of atomic and molecular physics and chemistry\, and optics. The skills and knowledge gained from this course will provide a solid foundation for research and professional practice in these areas. This course is an important component of the Erasmus Mundus Master in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modeling. It includes hands-on tutorials conducted in the computer lab\, where students will take their first steps in exploring photo-induced ultrafast phenomena. By the end of the course\, students will be well-versed in both the theoretical and practical aspects of light-matter interaction\, equipped with the tools and knowledge to advance their research and professional careers in this cutting-edge field. \nReferences\n[1] J.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Elucidating the Photon Migration Effects in Incubated Chicken Eggs using Time-Domain Diffuse Optics
DESCRIPTION:Title: Elucidating the Photon Migration Effects in Incubated Chicken Eggs using Time-Domain Diffuse Optics Speaker: Lennard van den Tweel (Wageningen University and Research) Date: Wednesday\, 20 May 2026\, 16:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) \nThe early and non-invasive assessment of chicken embryonic sex and viability is of great interest. This interest is driven by the ethical dilemma surrounding the culling of non-productive day-old male chicks in layer-hen production and by the need to improve hatchery efficiency. Optical techniques are widely investigated for these applications\, but are challenged by the complex optical properties and heterogeneous structure of avian eggs. Here\, we show that chicken eggs display unusual photon trapping behavior due to the eggshell behaving like an integrating sphere\, considerably extending photon time-of-flight. Time-domain diffuse optical spectroscopy (TD-DOS) on egg phantoms\, supported by Monte Carlo simulations and post-dispersive filtering experiments\, rule out fluorescence as the source for the long photon time-of-flight. These results point to diffuse reflections at the inner surface of the eggshell as the source of the long photon time-of-flight. Despite these boundary effects\, the retrieval of internal bulk optical properties remains feasible via inversion of the diffusion approximation after selection of appropriate boundary conditions\, as was demonstrated in incubated eggs. Finally\, phantom experiments illustrate how the integrating sphere affects the temporal response of time-resolved Raman and fluorescence measurements\, highlighting critical challenges in non-invasive optical characterization of avian embryos. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.
