From September 12 to 16, the annual meeting of the European Optical Society (EOSAM 2022) was held in Porto (Portugal). The Laser and Photonics Applications group (ALF – USAL) has participated in this conference presenting some of the most recent results of the research it is currently carrying out. The works presented were: Marina Fernández
Nowadays, the high-order harmonic generation process is an extended useful tool for the study of femtosecond dynamics. Nevertheless, there are still many doubts regarding the electron behavior inside different types of mediums. Recent studies in solid targets have revealed new scenarios with extraordinary electronic dynamics compared with atoms or molecules. The process in solids can be
Next August will be thirty months since the ATTOSTRUCTURA project began, which means that half of its duration has already elapsed. For this reason, the first meeting of the project’s scientific advisory committee has been held. The committee, made up of external researchers who are experts in the different fields of the project, has the
From July 11 to 15, the XXXVIII Biennial Meeting of the Royal Spanish Society of Physics was held. The Laser and Photonics Applications group (ALF – USAL) has participated in said biennial, presenting some of the most recent results of the research it is currently carrying out. The works presented were: Luis Sánchez-Tejerina, Rodrigo Martín-Hernández,
Sterling silver jewelry, rose gold with exclusive designs, rings, earrings, bracelets… made out of light? Like a high fashion jewelry workshop, the Laser and Photonics Applications research group of the University of Salamanca (ALF-USAL) focuses its efforts on designing light jewels through non-linear optics. Jewels, not only for their beauty in the form of high-frequency
Our friends and frequent collaborators from JILA (University of Colorado) echo the paper “Necklace-structured high-harmonic generation for low-divergence, soft x-ray harmonic combs with tunable line spacing” recently published in ScienceAdvances.

In spite of having an extremely short life, of just a few quadrillionths of a second, ultrashort femtosecond laser pulses have become an indispensable tool in many areas of science and technology, as they allow to probe the most fundamental properties of matter on ultrafast time scales. Generating these such short pulses of light in
