Abstract:

During this project we intend to develop a numerical method for shaping femtosecond laser pulses to optimize the controlled generation of attosecond pulses which are used in time-resolved pump-probe experiments. We propose a fundamental type research, which contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of electrons on the attosecond time scale. We will elaborate the pulse shaping method based on optimizing the electron trajectories in high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in two-color driving fields. The main goal of the project is to offer, as a final deliverable, a useful numerical tool for experimental groups in order to find the optimal configuration of their particular HHG setup and generate both intense and high-energy XUV (soft X-ray) attosecond pulses. The main goal of the project is to fill the gap between the results of theoretical calculations for the ideal waveform in HHG and the real experimental possibilities existing in laboratories.

Abstract:

The main objective of the Project “Optical Nanofabrication in the domain 50 nm – 5 nm” is to valorize the last results of Quantum Optical Lithography with resolution of 2 nm [1] to 3D optical nanofabrication.

Secondary objectives of NANOFAB Project are the following: i) development of metamaterials (3D photonic crystals) able to improve telecommunications ii) realization of nanochannels and nanoarrays for DNA studies and iii) production of metallic components such as gear for the prototype nanorobots.

Initially, complex 3D structures were produced by stacking multiple 2D layers. The patterns were realized by lithography (optical lithography and Electron Beam Lithography). A new opportunity in 3D fabrication has been started by the development of femtosecond lasers. Materials processing technology by using femtosecond laser irradiation has attracted tremendous interest from the scientific and technological communities. Studies have indicated that diffraction limit creates a major difficulty to obtain 3D structures with dimension smaller than 100 nm. Quantum Optical Lithography broke the diffraction barrier by using new approaches and materials (fluorescent photosensitive glass-ceramics, resist). Fluorescent photosensitive glass-ceramics were successfully tested to produce 3D nanostructures at 2 nm resolution.

The expected results are interesting and the exploitation of this new technique could be economically attractive. A group of novel technologies relating to laser nanomachining using Quantum Optical Lithography will be developed. This advanced materials processing technique opens the door to a new generation of optical devices for telecommunications, nanofluidics and biological sensing.

In present days, optical fiber telecommunications are carried out by infrared lasers. Optical Nanofabrication based on Quantum Optical Lithography with 2 nm resolution is the only technology able to realize at low price and high quality optical components dedicated for optical fiber telecommunications with visible light. This shift of wavelength from infrared to visible light will improve in a major way the performances of telecommunication systems.

US government agencies granted funds to universities and research institutes exceeding billion towards research developing nanodevices for medicine.

Large corporations like Alcatel-Lucent, NEC, Corning, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone invest in optical fiber telecommunications R&D and General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Northrop Grumman work in the development of medical nanorobots. All these companies could be interested in the application of Optical Nanofabrication in production.

The 1961 classic science-fiction movie Fantastic Voyage movie was about a team of scientists who are shrunk down and sent in a miniature submarine inside the body to repair a blood clot in an ailing colleague’s brain.

The Project NANOFAB will start to convert this dream into reality by producing first metallic components needed for a prototype medical nanorobot.

Abstract:

Research management, research career development and academic writing have become in later days prerequisites for successful academic track records and/or research careers. Formal and informal support programs are already in place in many of the top universities worldwide. Nevertheless, in Romania, such an approach has not been yet prospected and tested. The project proposes to build and expand the research capacity at both undergraduate and graduate level, helping students and researchers not only to improve their research skills but also their capacity to manage and communicate research (through research management, career management and academic writing).An interdisciplinary group will be created at the end of the project implementation, which will have a comprehensive set of tested instruments, competencies and the necessary know-how for carrying out a Complex Research Competencies training program. Once developed and tested the open training program may become a cornerstone in the future academic and research career development of researchers, weather at the beginning of their career or more advanced ones. While keeping the open school concept, the project team will promote and propose that the program becomes a permanent offer for the academic community and to be included as a transversal skills development program for the various faculties within the Babes-Bolyai University. The partner in the project, INCDTIM Cluj, will continue to provide expertise in the hard sciences component of the program. If such decision is reached, the CRC training program will contribute to the creation, development and further advancement of the Romanian academic community, especially those at the beginning of their research career. This will create, on a long run, a pool of better prepared and trained candidates for research positions within the structures of the two partners.

Abstract:

Nonlinear optics has revolutionized laser science by making it possible to efficiently convert laser light from one wavelength to another. Using the extreme nonlinear- optical process of high harmonic generation (HHG), light from an ultra-fast laser can be coherently up-shifted, resulting in a useful, tabletop, coherent and polarized short wavelength source. Such sources complement or replace expensive synchrotron facilities in specific applications.

The unique properties of UV HHG have already proven useful for studying ultra-fast molecular, plasma and materials dynamics, for characterizing nanoscale heat flow, for following element-specific dynamics in magnetic materials, and for high-resolution coherent imaging. HHG are ideal also for capturing the motion of electrons in atoms, molecules, and materials on their fundamental time (~fs) and length (~nm) scales.

Our project aims to develop at the TEWALAS laser system in INFLPR (15 TW, 10 Hz, 800 nm, 30 fs pulse duration), a HHG source technology as in [1] and also aims to build a facility to offer access to high flux radiation over the entire UV range. The major advantage is the ten fold increased UV production efficiency via quasi-phase matching control.

The expected impact of the development relates to a revolution in the efficiency of HHG sources, comparable with the one introduced by the periodically poled nonlinear crystals in laser physics. The optimized HHG sources will be patented and offered as high end products to the global ultra-fast laser market. The sources will also be the key elements at the core of a facility offering services related to the entire UV range, extending the capabilities of the TEWALAS laser facility. The commissioning of the UV user facility will be provided through a first experiment related to multi-coincidence photo-electron and photo-ion studies in diluted systems [2].

Abstract:

The purpose of the present project as a whole is to offer a reliable numerical calculation tool for ELI-type beam characterization and diagnostics throughout all the stages of beam shaping and transport, especially at points where experimental measurements are difficult or impossible to be performed.

In the first 6 months (2014) we designed two methods to calculate beam/pulse parameters. We tried to approach the problem constructively as in this stage even the collaborators directly involved in the ELI-NP beamline design are not certain about the final parameters and geometrical structure.

Abstract:

The research activities regarding memory cells with storage densities over 5 Tbits/sq.in are challenging tasks for scientific community.

2D data storage systems need structures able to store 1 bit on a surface smaller than 129 sq.nm,only realizable by extreme lithographic techniques with resolution below 5nm. A way to further boost the effective data density is volumetric storage. A 3D solution, such as a compact disc, should have a capacity of 10 TB.

Fluorescent photosensitive glass-ceramics have been studied for the recording data over a number of years. In 2010, Petabyte Optical Disc [1], realized by a fluorescent glass-ceramics disc with 40 nm marks organized in virtual multilayers, was announced at Optical Data Storage Conference. This makes fluorescent photosensitive glass-ceramics very suitable for industrial applications.

The project named “Petabyte Optical Disc” will focus on the development of dedicated media disc and specific optical, optoelectronic and electronics components. Proposed research will cover the physical basis of the volume recording, as well as physicochemical mechanisms occurring in these materials.

Recent developments in writing procedures and materials [2] could increase the recording capacity of the optical disc up to 1 Exabyte

(1 billion GB).

Objectives:

•To develop fluorescent photosensitive glass-ceramics

•To analyze the mechanisms of recording and readout in optical storage

media, and to develop theoretical models for these mechanisms

•To characterize the storage media in terms of importance in optical

data storage

•To realize a Reader Drive demonstrator for Petabyte Optical Disc

Abstract:

Generation of high-order harmonics (HH)is presently the main method to produce pulses of attosecond order duration. A monochromatic laser pulse induces this process every half optical cycle, thus, the harmonic emission is structured as a train of attosecond bursts which correspond to a comb of odd harmonics in the spectral domain. However spectroscopic and many other applications require single attosecond pulses (SAP) to be generated.

The project will explore SAP formation in macroscopic media in a novel configuration when three or more waveforms of incommensurate frequencies and femtosecond order duration are used as driving sources. A numerical model will be developed to (1) solve the wave equations for the simultaneous propagation of the waveforms in the ionizing gas (2) estimate the single dipole response of the atom to the combining fields and (3) solve the harmonic field propagation equations to calculate measurable quantities. The goals are (1) to model and explain SAP generation data which are obtained in collaborating laboratories (2) to find new field configurations able to achieve top characteristics (duration, intensity, broadband) of the attosecond bursts (3) to model and explain coherent beam combining experiments to be performed within romanian Extreme Light Infrastructure project.

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to establish, using quantum chemical methods, the excited-state pattern in different molecular systems in order to explain their individual behavior and response to the interaction with coherent pulsed UV light. Starting with computing the vertical excitation energies and the UV absorption spectra, different geometry relaxation pathways involving critical points on potential energy surfaces will be described. Three basic phenomena related to the molecular excited states is investigated. First, we will define the optimal conditions of new covalent bond forming in case of 6-benzyluracil, as a model system for DNA-protein crosslinking by searching those relaxation pathways which are not crossed by many ultrafast radiationless energy dissipating channels. Second, the photoprotectant properties of different molecular species, like, benzophenone, octyl-methoxycinnamate will be described. As an active agent of different sunscreens, the capacity of these molecules in absorbing UV-B radiation will be described. Third, several possible photophysical degradation pathways of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate will be given and as a basic component of many plastics its plasticizer effect under UV radiation will be investigated.

Abstract:

Producing ultrashort coherent XUV light pulses has become essential for real-time observation of electron dynamics in molecules and atoms. A well established method to obtain coherent XUV radiation is by the means of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) of ultrastrong few-cycle laser pulses in interaction with atomic/molecular systems in gas phase. There are two major concerns in this field of research: how to extend efficiently the HHG spectrum toward ever higher energies up to the keV regime, and how to isolate ever shorter XUV pulses down to tens of attoseconds (1asec=1e-18s). In this project we address both of these open problems and propose a new experimental scheme, namely HHG of ultrastrong few-cycle (near-)infrared (IR) pulses in the presence of a strong Terahertz (THz) pulse. In the first stage of the project an intensive modeling will be done. A complete 3D non-adiabatic numerical model will be extended and adopted for the treatment of HHG in the IR+THz case. Possible configurations of mutually perpendicular and parallel propagation directions for the two fields will be investigated. In both propagation schemes the two pulses can have mutually parallel or perpendicular linear polarization. Expected results are: prediction of cutoff extension; demonstrate experimentally the benefit of the THz assisting field; propose a feasible experimental scheme for THz assisted single attosecond pulse production.

Abstract:

Deciphering the complexity of chromatin-encoded information is the prerequisite for understanding the regulatory circuits governing development and (patho)physiology. Transcription factors and epigenetic modulators translate chromatin-embedded information in a dynamic and cell/gene context specific manner to orchestrate homeostasis, growth and differentiation. To date, the most powerful and commonly used approach is immunoprecipitation of chemically cross-linked chromatin (XChIP) coupled with single gene or global analysis using DNA tiling arrays (ChIP-chip) or parallel single molecule sequencing (ChIP-seq). At present, serious limitations of the XChIP technology preclude factor-DNA interaction studies at dynamic ranges below minutes. Moreover, conventional XChIP cannot be used to study samples of
