Our laser facilities

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
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.
Vulcan
Vulcan is a petawatt laser system, used for experiments researching fusion energy, electron and ion acceleration, laboratory astrophysics and plasma physics.
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.
Octopus
The OCTOPUS (Optics Clustered to OutPut Unique Solutions) imaging cluster offers a range of imaging techniques including multidimensional single molecule microscopy, confocal microscopy and optical profilometry.
