Coherent Optics Laboratory

Laboratory was established by the Centre together with UAB „Altechna R&D” in 2016. Laboratory is mainly designing optical focal spots and lines with polarization control for applications of laser microprocessing of materials. Microprocessing of materials is not the only area of scientific interests. We are interested also in

• Metamaterials and nanoplazmonics. Clusters of nanoparticles, design of metaatoms,
• Precise nanointerferometric measurement of electromagnetic fields using nanostructures (spheres, knive-edges etc),
• Pecularities of vector beam propagation with topological charges (vortices, vector singularities)
• Charged particles acceleration using vector electromagnetic beams,
• Nonlinear interactions during parametric processes in quadratic and cubic materials
