• Laserlab-Europe Talk: Laser produced plasmas (LPP) and LPP SXR/EUV sources for laboratory astrochemistry

    Online

    Speaker: Andrzej Bartnik (MUT-IOE)  Many experiments relevant to various processes in Space were devoted to support interpretation of astronomic observations. The experiments concern formation of astrophysical jets, photoionized plasmas in accretion disks around compact stars, supernovae explosions, matter formed inside giant planets, formation of interstellar dust, molecular processes in interstellar ices, formation of tholins etc. […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Non-invasive photoacoustic imaging for in-depth cultural heritage diagnostics

    Online

    Speakers: Eleanna Pirgianaki (IESL-FORTH) In recent years, photoacoustic (PA) techniques have gained significant role in the field of cultural heritage (CH) diagnostics, proving to be powerful tools for the detailed investigation of complex and fragile objects such as paintings, documents and murals. These techniques are based on the PA effect, which involves the generation of […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Nonlinear optical diode effect in a magnetic Weyl semimetal

    Online

    Speaker: Christian Tzschaschel (University of Zurich) Weyl semimetals have emerged as a promising quantum material system to discover novel electrical and optical phenomena, due to their combination of nontrivial quantum geometry and strong symmetry breaking. Here, I will present the observation of the nonlinear optical diode effect (NODE) in the magnetic Weyl semimetal CeAlSi, where […]

  • Lasers4EU General Assembly 2025

    Online

    The Lasers4EU General Assembly 2025 has two main goals: to reflect on the achievements of the project's first year and to coordinate the next steps in its implementation. The meeting is an important milestone in the consortium’s ongoing efforts—not only to fulfill the objectives agreed with the European Commission, but also to deliver meaningful services […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Glass drilling with femtosecond laser in GHz-burst mode

    Online

    Speaker: Inka Manek-Hönninger (University of Bordeaux, CNRS-CELIA) Registration belowFemtosecond laser materials processing in the GHz-burst mode has attracted much attention in the last few years , especially for top-down percussion drilling in dielectrics thanks to the outstanding machining quality of the holes . In this contribution, I will first give an introduction to femtosecond laser […]

  • OPOSSUM Online Workshop

    Online

    The first online workshop on OPOSSUM – the Open Source Optics Simulation System and Unified Modeler – will take place on Wednesday, 4 June 2025, from 2-4 pm CEST via Zoom. The event will provide a first look at OPOSSUM, developed within the European THRILL project. While OPOSSUM is still in its early development and […]

  • Laserlab-Europe Talk: Optical modification of graphene for applications

    Online

    Speaker: Mika Pettersson (Laserlab-NSC) Graphene and other 2D materials have many excellent properties but seldom they can be used as such in advanced applications. One option is to chemically modify and functionalize 2D materials. However, many applications require spatially selective functionalization and patterning. Laser-based methods offer many advantages in this regard. A common optical material […]
