Participants of the SPIE Optics + Optoelectronics 2023 conference at the HiLASE Centre

On Friday the 28th of April, attendees of the SPIE Optics + Optoelectronics 2023 conference (of which HiLASE Centre is a partner) visited the Centre.

The group was welcomed by Jiří Mužík (team leader of Thin Disk Lasers) and Jaroslav Huynh (post-doc: PERLA B), who introduced the main focus of the Centre’s research in the lobby. Then, the participants had the opportunity to take a look inside the clean laboratories where the PERLA laser system is developed.

This was followed by an excursion into the Laser Shock Peening (LSP) experimental hall, where Jan Kaufman (team leader of LSP) and Ondřej Stránský (Ph.D. student: LSP) showcased the main industrial applications of the method and answered the participants’ questions.
