femtosecond transient absorption data acquisition system Future nanostructures and biological nanosystems will take advantage not only of the small dimensions of the objects but of the specific way of interaction between nano-objects. The interactions of building blocks within these nanosystems will be studied and optimized on the femtosecond time scale - says Sergey Egorov, President and CEO of Del Mar Photonics, Inc. Thus we put a lot of our efforts and resources into the development of new Ultrafast Dynamics Tools such as our Femtosecond Transient Absorption Measurements system Hatteras. Whether you want to create a new photovoltaic system that will efficiently convert photon energy in charge separation, or build a molecular complex that will dump photon energy into local heat to kill cancer cells, or create a new fluorescent probe for FRET microscopy, understanding of internal dynamics on femtosecond time scale is utterly important and requires advanced measurement techniques.

A PhD studentship in experimental molecular physics at
Stockholm University
Stockholm University announces: A PhD studentship in experimental molecular
physics, at The Department of Physics, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden.
Reference nr: SU 402 33-0132-11. Deadline for applications: October 7th, 2011
Subject description
A detailed understanding of matter and material properties at an atomic and
molecular level is essential for the development of future materials and
technologies as well as, for example, making rational strategies to counter
climate change. Ultrafast spectroscopy techniques with their capability to
resolve and manipulate matter dynamics on timescales inherent to atomic and
electronic motions represent a crucial part of the cutting edge of today’s
research in this field, reflected in the present enormous global effort that is
spent on the development of x-ray free electron laser facilities that can
deliver pulses with femto- or even attosecond duration and thereby provide
completely new possibilities to study fundamental dynamical processes in matter.
We have in the Molecular Physics division's Laboratory for Ultrafast Chemical
Physics recently established two new world-class experimental facilities — one
for studies of ultrafast atomic and molecular processes in the gas phase by
time-resolved particle coincidence electron spectroscopy, and another for
ultrafast time-resolved vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy of surface
chemical reactions, which provides direct access to processes like making and
breaking of chemical bonds on surfaces. Coupled with experiments at x-ray
free-electron lasers, these facilities provide a powerful environment with a
broad spectrum of advanced tools to do experimental research within one of
today's most exciting fields.
The molecular physics group at Stockholm University consists of 20 members, five
of whom are PhD students. The Physics Department is an internationally lively
research environment, situated in the AlbaNova University Center and has about
180 employees, 250 undergraduate students and 80 PhD students. For more
information about the Physics Department and the research see
http://www.fysik.su.se.
Project description.
The key project goal is an understanding of the underlying quantum dynamics of
atomic and molecular processes in the gas-phase, in particular the role of
particle correlations and the mechanisms of photo-induced break-up of
atmospheric and biologically relevant molecules, and for that purpose develop
concepts and methodology for research at the new x-ray free-electron lasers. The
present project focus is studies of electron dynamics and coupled
electron-nuclear dynamics in small molecules by ultrafast high-energy photon
pulses and femtosecond pump-probe methods. For this purpose we are currently in
the laboratory assembling a light source that delivers femto-/attosecond pulses
of extended ultraviolet photons (approx. 10-90 eV), to complement planned
activities at external free-electron lasers.
Requirements
To be accepted as a PhD student in physics one should have studied at least four
years at a University and have a BSc in Physics. These studies must include
advances courses in physics during one year and an advanced degree project (a
detailed description of one in progress may do). We seek a candidate with
analytical capacity and good skills in English.
Terms of employment
A PhD education is four years (48 months). The four year PhD program includes at
least three years of research and at most one year of course work. The position
may be extended up to one year if up to 20% teaching assistance or
administration is included in the contract. During the beginning of the PhD
education, the student receives a study grant (“utbildningsbidrag”) and towards
the end of the education, the student acquires a PhD position
(“doktorandansta"llning”).
Application
Applications should include a letter of intent describing your motivation for
applying, a CV including information on previous education, a copy of the master
thesis (or “examensarbete”), other documents supporting the applicants
competence and suitability for the position, and address, phone number and
e-mail of two reference persons. The application can be written in English or
Swedish. Evaluations will be based on results on University courses, quality of
master’s thesis (or “examensarbete”), references, interviews and the letter of
intent.

Pismo pulse picker The Pismo pulse picker systems is as a pulse gating system that lets single pulses or group of subsequent pulses from a femtosecond or picosecond pulse train pass through the system, and stops other radiation. The system is perfectly suitable for most commercial femtosecond oscillators and amplifiers. The system can pick either single pulses, shoot bursts (patterns of single pulses) or pick group of subsequent pulses (wider square-shaped HV pulse modification). HV pulse duration (i.e. gate open time) is 10 ns in the default Pismo 8/1 model, but can be customized from 3 to 1250 ns upon request or made variable. The frequency of the picked pulses starts with single shot to 1 kHz for the basic model, and goes up to 100 kHz for the most advanced one. The Pockels cell is supplied with a control unit that is capable of synching to the optical pulse train via a built-in photodetector unit, while electric trigger signal is also accepted. Two additional delay channels are available for synching of other equipment to the pulse picker operation. Moreover, USB connectivity and LabView-compatible drivers save a great deal of your time on storing and recalling presets, and setting up some automated experimental setups. One control unit is capable of driving of up to 3 Pockels cells, and this comes handy in complex setups or contrast-improving schemes. The system can also be modified to supply two HV pulses to one Pockels cell unit, making it a 2-channel pulse picker system. This may be essential for injection/ejection purposes when building a regenerative or multipass amplifier system. |

Wavefront Sensors: ShaH Family A family of ShaH wavefront sensors represents recent progress of Del Mar Photonics in Shack-Hartmann-based technology. The performance of Shack-Hartmann sensors greatly depends on the quality of the lenslet arrays used. Del Mar Photonics. developed a proprietary process of lenslet manufacturing, ensuring excellent quality of refractive lenslet arrays. The arrays can be AR coated on both sides without interfering with the micro-lens surface accuracy. Another advantage of the ShaH wavefront sensors is a highly optimized processing code. This makes possible real-time processing of the sensor data at the rate exceeding 1000 frames per second with a common PC. Due to utilizing low-level programming of the video GPU, it is possible to output the wavefront data with a resolution up to 512x512 pixels at a 500+ Hz frame rate. This mode is favorable for controlling modern LCOS wavefront correctors. The family of ShaH wavefront sensors includes several prototype models, starting from low-cost ShaH-0620 suitable for teaching laboratory to a high-end high-speed model, ShaH-03500. The latter utilizes a back-illuminated EM-gain CCD sensor with cooling down to -100°C. This makes it possible to apply such a wavefront sensor in astronomy, remote sensing, etc. |

Frequency-stabilized CW single-frequency ring Dye laser DYE-SF-007 pumped by DPSS DMPLH laser installed in the brand new group of Dr. Dajun Wang at the The Chinese University of Hong Kong. DYE-SF-077 features exceptionally narrow generation line width, which amounts to less than 100 kHz. DYE-SF-077 sets new standard for generation line width of commercial lasers. Prior to this model, the narrowest line-width of commercial dye lasers was as broad as 500 kHz - 1 MHz. It is necessary to note that the 100-kHz line-width is achieved in DYE-SF-077 without the use of an acousto-optical modulator, which, as a rule, complicates the design and introduces additional losses. A specially designed ultra-fast PZT is used for efficient suppression of radiation frequency fluctuations in a broad frequency range. DYE-SF-077 will be used in resaerch of Ultracold polar molecules, Bose-Einstein condensate and quantum degenerate Fermi gas and High resolution spectroscopy |

NARROW-BAND HOLOGRAPHIC FILTERS are intended for suppression of powerful beams in research and in engineering, in particular, in laser spectroscopy, and also for protection from blinding and damaging by laser radiation various photo receiver devices and operator's eyes. Unlike conventional interference filters, which are made by vacuum evaporation techniques, holographic filters are fabricated by recording interference patterns formed between two mutually coherent laser beams. Since all layers are recorded simultaneously within a thick stack, the optical density of the notch filter is high and its spectral bandwidth can be extremely narrow. Also, since the layering profile is sinusoidal instead of square wave, holographic notch filters are free from extraneous reflection bands and provide significantly higher laser damage thresholds.
