Infrastructures
Our end goal
Supported by our expertise in coherent ultrafast non-linear spectroscopy, we aim to develop a suite of mixed spectral domain techniques to reveal coherent correlations between quasiparticles separated by many orders of magnitude in energy.
We are currently developing capabilities to generate ultrashort pulses from terahertz (THz) to the visible range, enabling experiments across three decades of frequency.
The manipulation and synchronization of these pulses into a train of coherent pulses, using various phase control techniques, will ultimately allow their integration into complex coherent control sequences to dissect many-body interactions in complex systems at the frontier of physics and chemistry.
