Lasers and Ultra-fast Phenomena

This axis studies the phenomena of ultra-short pulses, ultra-fast dynamics and all-fiber lasers. The research interests are focused on the physics of laser-matter interaction in the high intensity regime in order to innovate by developing applications that can be transposed to several fields of activity.
