Our scientific mission is to advance ultrafast laser technology, explore new areas of coherent light generation, and apply our uniquely tailored ultrafast sources to better understand chemical, biological, and physical processes.
We characterize laser filament-induced plasma in air at 10 kHz using optical emission spectroscopy. Time-resolved measurements reveal gas and electron temperatures, rotational distributions, and electron densities. Our study extends filament characterization to high-repetition rates above 1 kHz, a relevant regime for many filament applications.
We are happy to introduce our newest scientists, M.Sc. Anna Martinez and M.Sc. Oliver Nagy.
The visible light spectrum is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Prof. Dr. Clara Saraceno generates invisible terahertz rays using ultrafast lasers and talks about their versatile applications.
