" Our research projects are focused on the Interaction of Femtosecond Laser Pulses with Matter. "
Our research in collaboration with students, research associates and other researchers in Waterloo in Canada and beyond, focuses on understanding the way that intense laser radiation in extremely short femtosecond pulses* interacts with and modifies matter.
What is Femtosecond?
* one femtosecond is one thousand million millionth of a second or 10 -15s.
" The femtosecond laser electric field is bigger than the one which binds electrons to an atom,
and so the interaction can rip matter apart.
We are interested in understanding how this process happens... "
