Artemis provides ultrafast ​laser sources, XUV beamlines and end-stations for atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics and imaging. ​​

Laser sources​

Artemis has two high repetition rate, high average power laser systems:

• 1 kHz Ti:sapphire laser system
• ​twin 8 mJ, 30 fs pulses at 1 kHz).
• few-cycle laser pulses at 1800 nm
• tuneable pulses from 235 nm to 15 micron.
• ​100 kHz IR system, with outputs at 1700 nm and 3000 nm. Available for users from 2021.​​

XUV beamlines

Artemis offers three XUV beamlines:

• Tuneable 1 kHz XUV beamline, with monochromator providing isolated, short pulse (10-50 fs) harmonics in the energy region 12-80 eV.
• XUV imaging beamline with flat-field spectrometer, filters and multilayer mirrors, for experiments requiring higher XUV flux at 1 kHz.
• Beamline for 100 kHz XUV pulses, with monochromator and flat-field spectrometer.

​E​nd-stations

Artemis has a variety of vacuum end-stations, which can be used with XUV or laser pulses.

For ultrafast dynamics in condensed matter systems, the UHV end-stations are:

• Time- and angle-resolved photoemission (TR-ARPES)​
  
• Time- and spin-resolved time-of-flight (TR-spin-ToF)

For ultrafast dynamics in molecules​, the end-stations are:

• AMO chamber with velocity-map imaging or electron time-of-flight detector and gas sources
• Chamber for liquid-phase studies, equipped with a liquid microjet
  

Applying for access

Artemis is an open access user facility, and we issue calls for proposals twice a year. If you would like to use Artemis, we recommend you first discuss the requirements for your experiment with Artemis staff​.​
