Short description of the infrastructure:
The High Intensity Laser Laboratory (HILL)
operates a high-intensity
femtosecond hybrid dye/excimer laser system offering the best laser
parameters
at 248 nm in Europe. The pulse energy is 80 mJ with 600 fs duration or
40 mJ
with 150 fs pulse duration. The focussed intensity can surpass 1018
W/cm2 at several Hz repetition rate with a high
temporal contrast.
Several research projects were initiated in plasma physics, solid-state
physics
and micro material processing involving researchers both from the
department
and from other research institutes.

Research opportunities:
Access
procedure (How to apply for access):
Interested researchers are
encouraged to contact the Director of the laboratory they wish to visit
to
obtain information on detailed access opportunities and conditions.
Proposal submission is done by
e-mail with the application form. download
Incoming proposals will be
examined by the laboratory research staff. They will judge the
scientific
content of the project and report their judgement to the director of
the
laboratory. He will then make a final decision, taking into account the
following guidelines:
The laboratory Staff makes every effort to keep
the period of time for
evaluation and selection of proposals as short as possible, applicants
should
be prepared to face a period of typically a few weeks.
