We design and build ultrafast lasers that the physics demands, rather than adapting research questions to existing technology.

Building on decades of accumulated expertise and purpose-built laboratory infrastructure, we construct laser architectures ranging from new forms of mode-locking to powerful burst-mode systems with repetition rates of ~100 GHz and beyond. We integrate these sources into specialized laser–matter platforms, leveraging our microscopy and holography expertise, and operate across ambient, aqueous, and vacuum environments.

Extreme repetition-rate interactions of ultrashort pulses with matter enable engineered collective effects, memory, and intrinsic feedback that are fundamentally inaccessible in conventional single-pulse approaches.
