SINGULAR LASER FACILITY LABORATORY OF THE UPV/EHU

Nano and femtosecond laser applications - of great strategic and fundamental interest - can be deemed to form part of diverse areas of science and technology. Below we cite just a few of them.

Spectroscopy:

• REMPI spectroscopy (resonant enhanced multiphoton ionization).
• ZEKE spectroscopy (zero electron kinetic energy).
• Laser-induced fluorescence.
• Double-resonance spectroscopy (hole burning, etc.).
• Laser ablation.
• Proteomics and metabolomics (MALDI technique).
• Temporary resolution of photophysical, photochemical and ultrafast photobiological processes (10-15 -10-12 sec), using all types of pumping-probe technique (fluorescence up conversion, transient ionization, ion imaging, etc.).
• Coherent control of the chemical reaction.
• Others.

Physics:

• Photonics, in general.
• Non-linear optics (high-order harmonic and supercontinuous generation, parametric generation, etc.).
• Plasma physics.
• Others.

Material technology:

• Waveguide processing for optical communication.
• Metal, alloy and oxide ablation, feather characterization.
• PLD (physical laser deposition).
• MEMS manufacture.
• Development of new optical devices for storing information.
• Others.

Industrial applications:

• Micromachining.
• Nanostructuring of surfaces.
• Others.
