Research and Development

The different researchs carried out by the SLIC team are as follows.

Titanium-Sapphire CPA amplifiers

One of our main R&D programs concerns the development of intense Titanium-Sapphire lasers at high medium power and high frequency (1 to 10 kHz) and stabilized in CEP (Carrier Envelope Phase). We participated in the joint R&D laboratory “IMPULSE”…

SLIC: Post-compression activity

The post-compression of pulses at sub-10fs durations has been a major area of ​​research for our team for several years. A first important development concerns the study, production and implementation on the SE1 channel of the FAB1-10 laser of the ATTOLab platform.

Laser Crystals for Extreme Optics (CLOE Joint Laboratory)

Platform bringing together original characterization instruments to refine the understanding of the aging phenomena of non-linear optical crystals in the ultraviolet, and improve the lifespan of finished products..

UHI100 and FAB1-10 laser management

For more than thirty years, LIDYL has owned and implemented a fleet of high-level laser platforms based on intense femtosecond lasers, in order to reconcile good reliability and technological developments…

Our Support Teams

Technical support includes: technical support to provide state-of-the-art lasers and manage laser platforms, mechanical and electronics workshops, mechanical design office and IT support…
