Infrastructure

    Infrastructure Details

    Name of national/international infrastructure this infrastructure belongs to

    Lund Laser Centre Laboratories

    Description

    The Lund high-power laser facility, founded in 1992, is one of the leading facilities in Europe for high-intensity laser-matter interactions, attosecond science and short-wavelength laser spectroscopy.

    Equipment and resources

    The Lund high power laser facility is well equipped in terms of advanced lasers, target chambers, diagnostics, etc. required for a broad range of experimental research using short and ultra-intense laser pulses:

    The terawatt OPCPA laser system
    10-100 Hz, <10 fs pulse duration, CEP-stable, 50 mJ@100 Hz, 250 mJ@10 Hz, 800 nm
    Used for ultra-intense light-matter interaction studies, high-harmonic generation, laser-driven particle acceleration

    The kilohertz tunable laser system
    3 kHz, 20 fs, CEP-stable, 5 mJ, 770-830 nm
    “Work horse” of attosecond research in Lund during the last 20 years. Tunable around 800 nm. After post compression 3.5 fs pulses are produced. Also equipped with a TOPAS to obtain different wavelengths.

    The OPCPA laser system
    200 kHz, 15 µJ, 6 fs, CEP-stable, 850 nm
    System based on OPCPA, with rod-type fiber pump lasers. High-repetition rate system for high-order harmonic generation and attoscience, surface physics, ultrafast plasmonics.

    The Ytterbium CPA laser system
    1-200 kHz, 170 fs, 1 mJ@1 kHz, 35 µJ@200 kHz, 1030 nm
    Applications of high-order harmonics, XUV spectroscopy, plasmonics.


    Management of the infrastructure

    The Lund High Power Laser Facility is part of LLC Laboratories, and managed by the Division of Atomic Physics, LTH.
