Purchase of a state-of-the-art ultrafast high- pulse-energy / tunable wavelength / variable-repetition-rate laser system from Light Conversion

The FELIX laboratory is an international user facility that hosts a suite of free-electron lasers (FELs) that deliver picosecond-long optical pulses that are highly tunable in wavelength in the infrared and THz spectral range. For the project devoted to studying how optical phonons interact with magnetization and electric polarization on ultrashort timescales, a state-of-the-art table-top probing laser system is required, that will need to meet diverse and complex requirements in terms of temporal resolution, pulse energy, wavelength, variable repetition rates and triggering.
