Pre-Amplifier Technical contact: Udo Eisenbarth The Pre-Amplifier employs two flashlamp-pumped Nd:glass amplifiers with free apertures of 19 mm and 45 mm diameter respectively, which are operated in d

Main Amplifier technical contact: Udo Eisenbarth The Main Amplifier is set up in a double-pass configuration using five flashlamp-pumped Nd:glass amplifier cassettes. Its architecture is based on Nova

Femtosecond Frontend Technical contact: Christian Brabetz The femtosecond frontend is the source of short pulses for the PHELIX laser system. It delivers pulses at an energy level of 20 - 30 mJ and a

Pulse Compressor technical contact: Bernhard Zielbauer A stretched pulse delivered by the femtosecond frontend can be recompressed in the Pulse Compressor after being amplified in the laser chain in o

Nanotechnology @ GSI Materials Research Nanoporous membranes are fabricated by heavy ion irradiation and chemical etching. Pore density and pore arrangement are selected by the irradiation conditions.
