At HÜBNER Photonics we are always thrilled to be part of groundbreaking research that pushes the boundaries of physics!
Just last month, the prestigious 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics recognized the remarkable work of Dr. Anne L’Huillier from Lund University, Sweden, for her pioneering research in attosecond physics.
We are absolutely delighted and immensely proud to announce that one of our lasers contributes to cutting-edge attosecond experiments at the same institution – The Lund Attosecond Science Centre (LASC)!
Dr. Cord Arnold and his team at LASC are laser technology experts with a specific focus on efficient and versatile attosecond pulse sources. Their mission? To unravel the mysteries of fundamental light-matter interactions that occur on ultrafast timescales.
Attosecond science consists in generating attosecond pulses and in using them to study ultrafast dynamics. The application demands specific ultrafast laser technology as well as attosecond engineering in order to produce the needed attosecond source. We are very delighted to know that our state-of-the-art laser technology helps in these scientific endevours.
Academic institutions, such as these, play a pivotal role in creating new knowledge that can, in turn, translate into real-life applications. We can already attest that attosecond research, despite it being a novel area within scientific explorations, is beginning to find its footing in other fields beyond physics.
As Dr. Arnold explains:
“We hope to see other research fields pick up on the tools that the attosecond community has created. This specifically concerns chemists, biologists, and medical doctors. From an industrial perspective, we already meet large interest for semiconductor metrology in connection with the latest lithography technology using 13.5nm radiation.”
At HÜBNER Photonics we continue to support research institutions with the clear goal that these collaborations can help shape a more connected, efficient, and sustainable society.
Join us in celebrating this incredible partnership that contributes to advancing our understanding of the universe!
