The MPQ-LMU
Laboratory for Attosecond and
High Field Physics
(LAP)

was established - with facilities at both MPQ and LMU - in 2004 upon Prof. Ferenc Krausz' joint appointment as Director at the Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik and and Chair of Experimental Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. LAP unites the expertise of Prof. Krausz' former Vienna Group with that of the MPQ Laser-Plasma Group led by Prof. Witte, resulting in a uniquely broad range of sub-fields of Ultrafast and High-Field Science covered by in-depth expertise. These include

  • attosecond/femtosecond/picosecond metrology & spectroscopy
  • chirped ir/vis/uv/x-ray multilayer mirrors: design, fabrication & characterisation
  • diode-pumped solid-state laser oscillators and amplifiers
  • few-femtosecond laser oscillators and amplifiers
  • few-femtosecond optical parametric amplifiers
  • intense few-cycle pulses with controlled waveform
  • light-matter interactions at gigawatt to petawatt power levels
  • laser-plasma experiments below/above critical density
  • laser-driven particle (electron, positron, proton, neutron) sources
  • multiterawatt laser technology
  • xuv and x-ray light: generation & applications
