The "Metal Vapor Lasers" Laboratory conducts fundamental and applied research focused on the creation and development of new laser sources, the study of various types of plasma, and the application of laser radiation in a wide range of scientific and technological fields. These include nanophysics, the development of new materials and technologies, nonlinear optics, laser surgery, crystallography, and archaeology. The emphasis is on an interdisciplinary approach and the integration of scientific results into modern applications.
1. Applications of Femtosecond Laser Radiation
2. Applications of Sub-Picosecond Laser Radiation in Various Fields of Science and Technology
a) Scientific Research Activities
b) Technological Processing
Investigation of surface processing of various materials:
Precision processing with minimal heat-affected zones by laser ablation of various materials:
3. Development of New Laser Sources
This includes the development and research of unique multi-wavelength laser systems based on metal vapors and metal halides with high power and beam quality, generating in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible spectral ranges – both through direct generation and nonlinear frequency doubling.
These systems are applicable in the precision micromachining of various materials used in microelectronics and optics, as well as in the investigation of optical properties and water quality, particularly in cases of microplastic pollution.
