Activities:
| The Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Laboratory for Attosecond
and High Filed Physics group has played a pioneering role in the
development of advanced laser systems and attosecond physics,
especially in generation and characterization of isolated attosecond
pulses. The interdisciplinary expertise of this group includes ultrafast lasers and optics, atomic, molecular and plasma physics. In the laboratories, several multi-TW-scale Ti:Sapphire-based or optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier based laser systems are in operation. Various plasma physics research directions are followed as electron and ion acceleration, intense X-ray pulse generation. The group has pioneered the development of dielectric multilayer optics. It has the unique possibility and equipment for designing, manufacturing and characterisation of chirped multilayer dielectric coatings for steering few-fs vis/nir light pulses and controlling group-delay dispersion with ~1-fs accuracy over octave-spanning spectral bands and beyond. |
