Nature Photonics has recently included in its Research Highlights a work published in Physical Review Letters by ICFO Research Fellow Dr. Carles Serrat and ICFO Prof. Jens Biegert. The work demonstrates that adding a periodic static field results in efficiency enhancement of X-Ray sources. As the picture shows, the enhancement

A supplement devoted to technology issued together with the El Mundonewspaper featured two articles on research performed at ICFO. The first feature, “Spain becomes part of the European laser elite”, focuses on LASERLAB-EUROPE, the European consortium whose second phase was recently launched at ICFO. The article highlights that two Spanish research
Comments Off on LASERLAB-EUROPE and the work on attoscience by Prof. Jens Biegert are the subjects of two features in an El Mundo technology supplement.
