We are constantly looking for curious and motivated students to join our laboratories! Interested? Contact the LRC director or leaders of the research teams of interest. |
Join us at Vilnius University Laser Research Center for our advanced VU LRC Summer School from August 19th to 23rd, 2024. This program offers a series of intensive courses on critical topics in laser physics and ultrashort pulse characterization:
- Measurement of few-cycle pulse temporal characteristics by dispersion scan technique
- Ultrashort laser pulse characterization techniques
- Optical damage morphology and threshold measurements
- Laser beam shaping techniques for femtosecond laser pulses
- Femtosecond supercontinuum generation in bulk solid-state materials
Enhance both your theoretical and practical skills through hands-on experiences in a small group setting. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore cutting-edge laser technologies. For more detailed information and application procedures, please visit Laserlab-Europe.

3D resolution bridge (RB) printing and line analysis. (a) Illustration of GDD pre-compensated pulses propagating to the objective of NA = 1.4. After they pass the objective, τ = 100 fs at each λ; (b) Illustration of the RB method. The suspended single-voxel-wide lines are photopolymerized between support pillars, each row with different light intensity; (c) SEM image of the entire RB object with lines and support pillars. The white scale bar at the bottom right corner is 20 µm; (d) Scheme representing calculated nef for used excitation light and their arrangement over measured absorbance spectra of photosensitized SZ2080. Gray vertical arrows visualize a number of photons for ground-to-excited state transition. Credit: Virtual and Physical Prototyping (2023). DOI: 10.1080/17452759.2023.2228324

Thirty years of optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA)!
IMAGE: The state of the art of table-top OPCPA systems in terms of achieved pulse duration (expressed in multiple of optical cycles), central wavelength, spectral bandwidth, nonlinear crystals used as amplifying media, and year of inception.
In 2022, OPCPA celebrates its 30th anniversary and the authors of this article share their views at these fascinating developments from historical and technological perspectives, giving a comprehensive account on the state of the art of table-top OPCPA systems, addressing their relevant scientific and technological aspects, design concepts, performance characteristics and growing practical applications in diverse fields of ultrafast science.
