The scientific activities of the SLAM group concern the study of laser-matter interaction with different types of materials and different types of laser sources. We distinguish three principal axes:
Laser-matter interaction
- Understanding laser-induced surface and sub-surface modification or ablation in the pico- and femtosecond regime
- Understanding material modification at the surface and in the volume in the pico- and femtosecond regime by linear and non-linear microscopies, imaging and correlative spectroscopy
- Investigating optical characteristics & applications of photonics structures
- Modeling of laser-matter interaction in liquids or solids
- Modeling of the laser-induced transition from solid to plasma within the context of inertial fusion confinement
Laser multi-material processing
- 3D laser printing of devices: Photonics Plasmonics, in dielectric bulk materials or fibers
- Advanced micromachining: drilling, engraving, texturing, cutting and welding
- Hybrid processing: merging laser processing with other techniques
Laser induced plasma
- Physics and chemistry of plasma
- LIBS – Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
- Chemometrics and data fusion
