The Centre for Ultrafast Science and Biomedical Optics (CUSBO) has been established at the Department. This facility includes the activities in the field of ultrashort laser sources, non-linear optics, high intensity laser-matter interactions, ultrafast processes in quantum confined materials, non-invasive characterization of biological tissues, wide band fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging techniques in scattering media.
CUSBO is belonging to the network of European Facilities "LASERLAB-EUROPE" funded by European Union within “the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme”.
The network includes 35 leading organisations in laser-based inter-disciplinary research from 18 countries with the aim of:
CUSBO is able to host about ten research projects per year corresponding to an average of twenty european users.
