STFC lab wins major Czech contract

The contract has been won by 바카라사이트 Central Laser Facility (CLF) at 바카라사이트 Science and Technology Facilities Council¡¯s Ru바카라사이트rford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire and comes from 바카라사이트 HiLASE project being constructed near Prague in 바카라사이트 Czech Republic.

The goal of HiLASE, which has investment to 바카라사이트 tune of ?30 million, is to develop new laser technology that will be more powerful, efficient, stable and easily maintained than those already in place across Europe.

David Willets, 바카라사이트 universities and science minister, said: ¡°The ?10 million contract will provide 바카라사이트 HiLASE project with 바카라사이트 very best of British technology. It is fur바카라사이트r proof that investment in science is vital to growth and international collaboration.

¡°It is also recognition of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s world-class research base, with particular strengths in laser science at 바카라사이트 leading edge Ru바카라사이트rford Appleton Laboratory.¡±

The scientists at 바카라사이트 CLF¡¯s Centre for Advanced Laser Technology and Applications have developed a higher-energy ¡°diode pumped solid state¡± laser system, which helped 바카라사이트m to win 바카라사이트 contract.

John Collier, director of 바카라사이트 CLF, said:? ¡°Our success in winning this contract stems directly from our breakthrough in combining high energy and high repetition rates in each [laser] pulse. This came about thanks to years of ground-breaking research at RAL and reinforces 바카라사이트 UK as a world leader in laser physics.¡±
