The Ultrafast Systems applications laboratory houses a variety of time-resolved spectrometers for measuring photoinduced absorption and emission changes on time scales ranging from femtoseconds to seconds. The applications lab serves as a test bed
for our latest developments as well as a facility where visiting researchers and prospective customers can examine their samples over a broad spectral range (UV-IR).

Whether you are considering buying some of our products or simply measure a few samples for your research project, we encourage you to visit our lab and give us an opportunity to assist you with our cutting edge instrumentation and the extensive expertise
in the field of time-resolved spectrometry.

In addition to the use of the Applications Lab by potential customers, it is also the venue for our Training Seminars. These seminars are primarily aimed at those scientists who are relatively new to their instrument, or at persons newly joining an existing ultrafast research group. Participants are offered insights into the theory behind the instruments and there is ample time for hands-on training. Typical seminars are 3 days in length and offer plenty of opportunities for interaction with the engineers behind the instruments. A typical training group does not exceed 5 persons and we also offer private seminars for individuals who, for one reason or another, are unable to join a group seminar. For more information or to sign up for the next session please contact us.
