Shaking test for a laser...

If you work with homebuild lasers then this video looks quite crazy... It shows a shaking test with a femtosecond laser.



The video was made by Femtolasers Produktions GmbH with one of their turn key laser-systems (Integral).

There is even a more impressive video by Toptica, where they have left falling a laser onto the floor (if i remember correctly) but unfortunately I havent found it yet on the internet nor their homepage. If you have it, please post it!

Attosecond laser - the world's fastest laser

By chance I found this video over an attosecond laser at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) in the group of Prof. Dr. Ferenc Krausz (www.attoworld.de). The video is on public level and nice to watch.



Additional information you can find in the press release (click) or at Attoworld.
Enjoy!


btw... did you found the mistake in the video? Everyone has once a bad day ;)

IONS-9 in Salamanca!

Don't miss it! Present and discuss your research with other young scientists.


IONS stands for International OSA Networks of Students and has the aim to connect you with young researchers in optics and photonics. Therefore there is no special conference topic but you can present your results and research to young scientists. Discuss, and get informed about the projects of other young scientists. More about the IONS, what they do and where the next IONS will be held you can find out here.

The next IONS in europe will be held in Salamanca, Spain, from the 7. - 9. April 2011 and is organized by the OSAL student chapter. Registration is free and open until the 25. february.
