Facilities:

The group has two laboratories equipped with state of the art scientific equipment.

Femtosecond lab 

Rated as a clean room for low airborne particle counts. This enables us to work with a very high-power (>GWatt) ultra-short pulse (<50fs)  laser systems, while being able to detect single photons – for high-sensitivity ultrafast and quantum experiments at a wide range of temperatures.

Picosecond lab 

The picosecond lab is equipped with optical and electronic instruments for studies of picosecond timescale quantum effects and devices.
