Ultrafast Photonics Research and Innovation

Welcome to the website of the Photonics Research and Innovation group!

The Ultrafast Photonics Research and Innovation group (FS-PRI) is dedicated to research on advanced photonic methods and technologies. Our activities range from the development of ultrafast ytterbium lasers for secondary photon and particle sources (EUV sources, laser-plasma accelerators and free-electron lasers), nonlinear optics in multi-pass cells and fibres to gas-phase sono-photonics. We address fundamental photonics phenomena and develop applied industry-relevant technologies.
While our laboratories are located at DESY, some of our activities are also hosted by the Helmholtz Institute Jena, strengthening the close connection between these two institutes.
