Project OP EC 1

Project title:
Research and Development of femtosecond Laser Systems and Advanced Optical Technologies

Project coordinator: Bedřich Rus

Project period: 1.6.2011 – 31.5.2014

Annotation:
The main objective of the project is to build 2 new research teams led by highly qualified reintegrated Czech scientists from prestigious foreign scientific research institutions focused on laser technology and related fields (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory – Great Britain and CERN – Switzerland). The activities of both research teams will contribute to the transfer of unique know-how in laser technologies towards target groups of scientific and research staff, PhD and undergraduate students working in institutions outside of capital city of Prague. Knowledge transfer will be realized by organizing seminars/workshops and professional excursions. Realized activities play significant role in building expertise in the International Laser Centre ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure).

Project OP EC 2

Project title:
Research and Development of New Ways of Radiation Generation and Charged Particle production by Ultra-Intense Laser Fields

Project coordinator: Karel Rohlena

Project period: 1.6.2011 – 31.5.2014

Annotation:
The main objective of the project is to build 2 new research teams led by 2 prominent foreign scientists from prestigious scientific research institutions (MPQ and DESY, Germany) focused on research and application of very strong electromagnetic fields generated by femtosecond class lasers. The activities of both research teams will contribute to the transfer of unique know-how in the field of physics of very intense light fields and their application in the generation of qualitatively new sources of X-rays and accelerated charged particles. Target groups are scientific and research staff, PhD and undergraduate students working in institutions outside of capital city of Prague. Knowledge transfer will be realized by organizing seminars/workshops and professional excursions. Realized activities play significant role in building expertise in the International Laser Centre ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure).
