The ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) Project is an integral part of the European plan to build
the next generation of large research facilities. ELI-Beamlines as a cutting edge laser facility is
currently being constructed in Prague, Czech Republic; its commissioning is scheduled for end of
2015. ELI will be delivering ultrashort, ultraintense laser pulses lasting typically a few
femtoseconds (10-15 fs) with peak power projected to reach of up to 200 PW. It will make
available time synchronized laser beams over wide range intensities for wide range of
interdisciplinary applications in physics, medicine, biology, material science etc. The high laser
electric field intensities of the laser pulse will be also used for generating secondary sources of
e- and p+. Laser beams will be transported in vacuum over large distances to the experimental
chambers.
For construction of the optical transport systems we invite applications for new group members
