Stimulated Raman scattering in the News

The ACS Photonics article published by Edgar Kaksis and Valentina Shumakova about stimulated Raman scattering for the production of XUV radiation produced quite a lot of Media attention. Have a look for yourself at the News page of the TU Wien Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology!

More Media echo can be found at Altmetrics.

Scalable and efficient XUV radiation from stimulated Raman scattering

Some members of iStOMPS published a manuscript on the efficient generation of XUV radiation via high-harmonic generation based on stimulated Raman scattering driven by a Yb-based laser source.

Lujia joins iStOMPS

Hello, everyone. My name is Lujia Zhou. I did my Master course in Optical Engineering on Tiangong University and finished in 2021. Now I am a PhD student of the Ultrafast Laser Group in the Institute of Photonics at TU Wien and joining iStOMPS in Subproject B. My task is about the XUV spectroscopy with isolated magnetic fields from laser pulse collision. I hope that I can learn more about optics within the iStOMPS consortium.

iStOMPS at the European Researchers Night 2022

On 29.9.2022, Lorenz, Rahul, and Sebastian were joining the European Researchers Night in Vienna and showed young and old guests of the public how to build and use a simple spectrometer to split up visible light and understand the colors of gems and crystals.

58th Symposium of Theoretical Chemistry

From 18.9. to 22.9.2022, Lorenz, Rahul, and Sebastian visited the 58th Symposium of Theoretical Chemistry in Heidelberg in Germany. Lorenz presented particle-in-cell simulations of azimuthally polarized beams interacting with metal apertures to generate isolated, amplified magnetic fields. Rahul’s poster showed spin-orbit complete active space second-order perturbation theory computations of Eu3+ ions. Sebastian presented nonadiabatic dynamics simulations using the SHARC software package. We enjoyed very nice talks, poster discussions, hikes, and social get-together.
