The MBI conducts basic research in the field of nonlinear optics and ultrafast dynamics of the interaction of light with matter and pursues applications that emerge from this research. It develops and uses ultrafast and ultra-intense lasers and laser-driven short-pulse light sources in a broad spectral range in combination with methods of nonlinear spectroscopy. MBI offers access opportunities for research in the general area of optically induced nonlinear response and/or the real-time observation and control of fast and ultra-fast elementary dynamics and high-field laser physics. Such studies provide direct access to microscopic interactions and structure underlying the physical properties of atoms, molecules, clusters, plasma, solids, and surfaces. The scientific infrastructure generally consists of short pulse and high-field laser systems with their experimental periphery; their development and upgrade is also subject of active MBI research and access opportunities. The available laser systems may be classified as
- short pulse sources, covering the spectral range from FIR to X-rays with pulse durations down to a few femtoseconds
- ultra-high intensity lasers
- special laser systems for applications
The MBI application laboratories concentrate most of these laser systems in dedicated building space, together with the necessary infrastructure for in-house and external access experiments.
