The Operation Team has the task to comission the High Power Laser System
(HPLS), the Laser Beam Transport System (LBTS) and to safely (man and
machine) operate the systems for experiments. To complete its tasks, the
Laser Operation Team will receive support from the infrastructure and
scientific team.
The Infrastructure Team will ensure a proper infrastructure
(electricity, electronics, IT, cooling water) and environment for both
HPLS and LBTS. They will provide a training plan for the operation team
on specific needs.
The Scientific Team is responsible with the technical part of the HPLS
and LBTS commissioning, machine safety and future updates of the system.
By taking care of machine safety, the Scientific team will follow all
parameters of HPLS and support the Operation team in the daily duty
within HPLS and LBTS.
HPLS development
The Optics Lab is equipped to provide training for the RD1 members and
for the users of the HPLS, as well as to test and qualify optical
components for use in the HPLS.
The cutting edge technology available in the Optics Laboratory of the Extreme
Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics Research Center makes the research facility
the ideal place for laser pulse characterization, beam diagnostics, wavefront analysis,
laser induced damage threshold, interferometry and so on. The lab itself is an ISO 6-ISO 7
cleanroom facility provided with all necessary cleanroom access equipment.
The research teams interested in using our facility or collaborating with our top notch
scientists, are provided with multiple optical tables and optical boards, wide range of optics
and opto-mechanic equipment, high end optical instruments, and all auxiliary electronic devices
such as computers, oscilloscopes, power supplies, delay pulse generators, multimeters, etc.
