The LasApp project brings together the excellent laser research centres of the Czech Academy of Sciences with other top centres. It focuses on state-of-the-art fiber and thin-disc lasers and their applications.
The LasApp Project will primarily advance existing state-of-the-art laser technologies, for which it will explore entirely new application directions with the potential for breakthrough solutions at an international level. Strategic application areas include space biotechnology and smart advanced manufacturing applications. The Project will produce excellent research outputs, including outputs with application potential. The Project will promote the internationalisation of laser technology research, developing excellent teams and international collaboration, produce excellent research outputs, including outputs with application potential. The Project will promote the internationalisation of laser technology research, developing excellent teams and international collaboration.
Main objective of the project is to foster a center of scientific excellence and competence in laser technology with a focus on fiber lasers and thin-disc lasers and their potential applications.
The LasApp project includes 4 research work packages:
- Advanced fiber technologies and applications
leader: Pavel Honzátko from ÚFE - Laser applications in space
leader: Martin Smrž from HiLASE
- Laser applications in biotechnology
leader: Zdena Palková from BIOCEV
- Smart laser manufacturing
leader: Sunil Pathak, vice-leader: Jan Brajer from HiLASE
There are 6 partners working together on the project. The main coordinator of the project is the Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, other partners are the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences – HiLASE Centre, Faculty of Science of Charles University – BIOCEV Centre, Institute of Scientific Instruments of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Institute for Nanomaterials, Advanced Technologies and Innovations of the Technical University of Liberec, Institute of Plasma Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences – TOPTEC Centre.
The project received financial support from the Jan Amos Komenský Operation Programme of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and is co-financed by EU funds.
