The basic laser equipments at CLUR consist of two femtosecond laser systems and one nanosecond laser system. These laser systems are made of a series of lasers and auxiliary equipments (oscillators, amplifiers, harmonic generators, optical parametric amplifiers, diagnostic equipments). This way, a wide variety of laser pulses with time durations from several nanoseconds down to tens of femtoseconds at a variety of wavelengths, energies per pulse and repetition rates, are available at CLUR. A detailed description of the different femtosecond and nanosecond laser systems can be found as follows:
