About NANOLAS
"Picosecond and femtosecond laser systems for applications in
nanotechnologies"
The lasers with extremely short pulses in the pico- and femtosecond range are
very useful tools adapted for nanotechnologies, satisfying the demands of high
precision and reproducibility. They are present in almost all stages of
nanotechnologies from the production of nanostructures, to the characterisation,
manipulation and application in different domains.
The main
target of the project is to develop a laser facility including two ultrafast
laser systems generating picosecond and femtosecond laser pulses, in order to
provide high-performance photonic tools for the Romanian scientists involved in
the field of micro- and nanotechnologies. Such laser systems delivering
picosecond and femtosecond pulses are not available in our country today, the
nanosecond lasers being the fastest pulse-lasers used in photonic micro and
nanotehnologies. The goal is to significantly improve the performance and the
capabilities of the national scientific activity in the nano-science field, one
of the priorities of the European and international research movement. During
the project development, experimental studies in the micro- and nanotechnologies
area will be performed using the ultrafast laser pulses. Our intention is to
offer a modern laser facility with national and regional impact accessible to
anybody interested in laser based applications in nano-science.
