Research programmes

In the HiLASE Centre we focus on the experimental development of a new generation of high energy diode-pumped solid state laser systems with high repetition rates. Thanks to the breakthrough technical parameters, our lasers are truly unique and you can not find their equivalents in any other laboratory in the world. By employing the cutting edge technology of diode pumping, HiLASE Centre lasers are significantly more powerful and efficient, and more compact, more stable and more easily maintained than those driven by old-fashioned flashlamp technology.
