Laboratory of Ultrafast Optics and Photonics

The Laboratory of Ultrafast Optics and Photonics was founded on the basis of the Laboratory of Ultrafast Optics founded in 2000 with the support of Professor Ara Apkarian (USA). Later, within the framework of the "Science for Peace and Security" international program (NATO SfP) and a number of other grant programs, the laboratory was equipped with a state-of-the-art high-speed laser system and related necessary equipment. It was named after the founder of the laboratory, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Levon Muradyan.

The research studies carried out in the laboratory aim to develop and introduce new efficient methods of analysis and synthesis of laser signals at the femtosecond scale for a wide range of modern science and technology, such as high-speed optics and photonics, spectroscopy, femtochemistry, femtobiology, medicine, optical communication, etc.

The main subject of research is the generation of broadband spectro-similaritons and their potential applications, compression of similariton and soliton pulses and spectrum control, formation of femtosecond pulses and their complete characterization in a temporal lens, radiation suppression-filtering from noise, spectral interferometry for ultrashort pulse characterization.
