Bayesian optimisation

In order to optimise the energy coupling from a laser pulse to a finite-size spherical solid target, we have performed a Bayesian optimisation study using a reduced model based on 2D Osiris simulations. The numerical scheme, showed in the figure, optimises the laser duration, wavelength and particle density of the spherical solid target for the maximum K-alpha ionisation […]

Spectral Broadening and post-compression

Mariana Cunha da Silva has been working on Spectral Broadening and post-compression, at the Voxel lab in IST. During this experiment Mariana mentioned that in order to achieve pulses in the very limit of temporal duration requires not only an ultrashort laser system, such as the ones available in the laboratories of the GoLP team […]

Physics week at IST

On 12th of May 2023, as part of the Physics week at IST, Mariana Cunha da Silva gave a presentation about the NanoxCAN to students. One of the topics of the presentation was the “Dive in the plasma realm”.

Jobs week

“Semana das Profissoões” in Liceu Camões, in Lisbon is a week destined to students learn about different jobs. The Auditorium at Camões High School was packed with science students from 11th e 12th grade. Dr. Marta Fajardo was invited to speak along a Biologist and a Forensics Analyst.

Ultrafast Optics Conference in Argentina

Dr. Jean-Christophe Chanteloup and Dr. Milutin Kovacev (NanoxCAN WP1&2 leaders) attended the Ultrafast Optics conference 13th edition (UFOXIII) in Bariloche, Argentina, from March 26th to 31st 2023. Dr. Milutin Kovacev presented a poster entitled “X-ray dose rate and spectral measurements from ultrafast laser-matter interaction” while Dr. Jean-Christophe gave a talk entitled “High average/peak powers Coherent Beam […]

ATTO Fridays

On the 18th of Novwember 2022, Dr. Hamed Merdji did a presentation at ATTO Fridays. ATTO Fridays is a seminar series, where viewers from any point of the world can watch physicists to talk about a research that they working on. For his presentation, Dr. Hamed brought the topic of High Harmonic: from classical to […]
