Anne L'Huillier
Professor, Group Leader
Research interests:
Anne L'Huillier's research, which is both experimental and theoretical, is centred on the generation of high-order harmonics in gases and its applications. In the time domain, these harmonics correspond to a series of extremely short light pulses, in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range and with a duration of a few tens or hundreds of attoseconds. Her research concerns the development and optimisation of attosecond sources and the use of this radiation for the study of ultrafast (electron) dynamics. Attosecond light sources can be designed for different goals, e.g. towards high intensity for non-linear pump/probe experiments or towards high repetition rate for applications in condensed matter physics. Another active research area for Anne L'Huillier and her group is the study of the electron dynamics of atomic systems, following a photoionisation event induced by the absorption of an attosecond light pulse.
Brief professional biography:
Anne L'Huillier is a French/Swedish physicist working on the interaction between short and intense laser fields and atoms. Born in Paris in 1958, she defended her thesis on multiple multiphoton ionisation in 1986 at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris and the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA). She obtained a permanent research position at CEA the same year. She was a postdoc at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg in 1986 and at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles in 1988. She was a visiting scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1993. In 1995 she became an associate professor at Lund University and in 1997 she was appointed professor of physics. She has been a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences since 2004. She has received various physics awards including the Wolf Prize in Physics in 2022 and the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023.

Cord Arnold
University Lecturer
Research interests:
My research expertise lies at the heart of ultrafast science, in particular ultrashort pulse laser science, generation, control, and characterization of ultrashort light pulses and their applications. This includes the development of new advanced light sources, spanning from the infrared (IR) down to the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral range, which enable to investigate light‐matter interaction at the shortest possible time scale.

Anne-Lise Viotti
University Lecturer
Research interests:
My research focuses on ultrafast nonlinear optics and laser source development for attosecond science and pump-probe schemes. I develop advanced pulse post-compression systems for femtosecond lasers. I study fundamentals of the process of high-order harmonic generation by manipulating the laser driver in multiple ways.
