Optics and ultrafast dynamics

Scientific coordinator: Eric Constant

The "Optics and ultrafast dynamics" thematic axis gathers the activities of the Institut Lumière Matière exploiting laser-matter interaction in a wide range of time (from attosecond to millisecond), wavelengths (Thz, far infrared, visible, XUV, ...), and a large variety of systems (from atom to complex molecular edifices, biomolecules, nanostructures, thin films). This axis includes theoretical and experimental activities focussing on linear and nonlinear responses to different laser excitations. It includes leading optical developments that allow for example high resolution spectroscopic studies or the study of isolated nano-objects. It includes investigations based on femtosecond lasers to explore interactions between light and matter in the fields of frequency comb spectroscopy, nonlinear imaging, high light intensities and short time dynamics.
