Physique et optique appliquée

Le Laboratoire d’optique appliquée est une unité mixte de recherches CNRS/École Polytechnique/ENSTA pionnière dans l’interaction laser-matière et la physique des plasmas depuis plus de 30 ans.

L’activité de recherche du laboratoire couvre un large spectre de sujets en science ultra-rapide, incluant le développement de systèmes laser femtosecondes (10-15 secondes) ultra-intenses, la physique de la filamentation laser dans l’air ainsi que la réalisation de sources compactes de rayonnement et de particules énergétiques pour des applications académiques, sociétales et industrielles.

Le LOA poursuit le développement du projet LAPLACE, centre dédié aux accélérateurs laser-plasma.
