CLF Facilities
An ultrafast soft x-ray science facility based on ultra-fast XUV pulses. Artemis brings together femtosecond laser and synchrotron technologies to enable new science in the emerging field of ultrafast x-rays.
A high power, ultra-short pulse, high repetition-rate Petawatt-class laser operating at 800 nm. The extreme concentration of energy possible with Gemini makes it one of the most intense lasers in the world.
The OCTOPUS imaging cluster offers a range of imaging techniques including multidimensional single molecule microscopy, confocal microscopy and optical profilometry.
Ultra combines laser, detector and sample manipulation technology to probe molecular dynamics on the femtosecond to microsecond timescales.
A Petawatt laser providing a number of beamlines operating in several power/pulse configurations.
