The diverse applications of laser technology in research
The use of laser light has proven to be an extremely versatile and powerful method that is used in numerous areas of science. From biomedical imaging to non-linear processes to spectroscopy and beyond, the applications of laser technology are almost limitless. Be inspired by the applications and discover new ways in which laser light can support your scientific goals.
How the laser prevents lightning strikes
Preventing damage caused by lightning strikes - that is one of the aims of the EU "Laser Lightning Rod" project. TRUMPF has developed a special laser for this purpose. High-intensity laser pulses are used as lightning rods by a laser on the Swiss mountain Säntis.

HHG beamlines for spectroscopy and imaging in the EUV/XUV
HHG and cavity enhancement: The fiber-based ultrashort pulse lasers from AFS, combined with pulse post-compression methods, are ideal drivers for the generation of higher harmonic radiation. These HHG beamlines can be used for spectroscopy and imaging in the EUV/XUV.
Boost resonators
Due to their high average power and high pulse repetition frequencies, fiber lasers are ideally suited as front-ends for boost resonators.
Fusion research
Wavelength-stabilized and power-stabilized CO2 lasers are indispensable tools for plasma density control systems such as those used in ITER, the world's largest fusion experiment.
