​​​The Central Laser Facility provides a broad spectrum of laser facilities, from high intensity laser systems to ultra-fast sources and laser microscopy techniques. Underpinning the laser facilities are enabling capabilities, from computational plasma physics to target mi​cro-fabrication and engineering​.​

 
  • Artemis
    Artemis is the CLF's facility for ultrafast XUV science. Experiments on Artemis use high harmonics to investigate ultra-fast electron dynamics in condensed matter and gas-phase molecules, and for coherent lensless imaging.
  • Gemini
    Gemini is a high power, ultra-short pulse laser system delivering dual beams of 15 J, 30 fs laser pulses, at a rate of one shot every 20 seconds
  • OCTOPUS
    The OCTOPUS (Optics Clustered to OutPut Unique Solutions) imaging cluster offers a wide range of imaging techniques.
  • Ultra
    ULTRA combines laser, detector and sample manipulation technology to probe ultrafast molecular dynamics to facilitate innovative research in the physical and life sciences in academia and industry.
  • Vulcan
    Vulcan is a petawatt laser system, used for experiments researching fusion energy, electron and ion acceleration, laboratory astrophysics and plasma physics.
