The UNIS group is working on the field of intense ultrashort laser pulse interactions with matter and the development of novel secondary sources.
Using a terawatt (TW) power level femtosecond (fs) laser source as a driving unit we are building a unique experimental facility. In this facility, are gathered in a single laboratory, workstations that provide secondary ultrashort light sources covering a large part of the electromagnetic spectrum from X-rays up to THz radiation. These sources are generated through a number of highly nonlinear interactions and propagation effects of the driving laser pulses with matter.
In our research we are dealing with both fundamental science aspects as well as technological applications. The polyvalent nature of our facility allows studies in cross-disciplinary science including physics, chemistry, materials science and bio-medicine.
Our group profits from financing coming from National and European Union sources. Also, we our proud to be supported by a Marie Curie Excellence Grant.
Our facility is open to collaborations with European researchers through the Laserlab-Europe network. For more information you may contact us at unis@iesl.forth.gr.
