La fête de la science commence à l'Ecole @polytechniqueparis.bsky.social et continue demain.

Venez demain le 04/10 visiter au LOA un laboratoire où nous accelerons des électrons par laser à >99,99% de la vitesse de la lumière, et où nous développons des applications médicales. A demain !

Boosting the energy and beam quality of laser-wakefield accelerated electrons with a plasma waveguide, first demonstrated at LOA in 2022 (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) has also worked at the APOLLON laser. We generated quasi-monoenergetic beams beyond 2 GeV !

Every couple of years we move the whole lab for a few days away from the daily grind in Palaiseau to some beautiful location.
For the LOA Days 2025, we went to the magnificent island of Porquerolles!

High-order harmonics are non-classcial!
This has recently been further substantiated by @kittenstate.bsky.social and his colleagues of the QUANTUM group at LOA.

Their observation of a displaced squeezed state is now published in @physrevresearch.bsky.social.

There's a new animal in the zoo of ultrafast pulse characterization methods:
TIBETAN-FOX is a specialist of femtosecond XUV pulses, and has been demonstrated first at LOA!

We were happy to receive Prof. Donna Strickland's visit today and show her around a few of our labs.

Absolutely everything at LOA runs thanks to her (and our former colleague Gerard Mourou's) Nobel-prize-decorated Chirped-pulse-amplification!

Selected candidates will then be invited to present their work to a national jury.

The CNRS is prioritizing applicants with 1 to 5 years of post-doctoral experience.

Interested candidates are strongly encouraged to reach out to Jérôme Faure or Cédric Thaury (find their email on the LOA webpage).
