Commercial beamtime

Access to CLF’s world class facilities is provided free of charge to the UK academic community and it is also available to commercial users at contract rates.

Currently the range of facilities include:

Vulcan
A Petawatt laser providing a number of beamlines operating in several power/pulse configurations.

Astra-Gemini
A high power, ultra-short pulse, high repetition-rate Petawatt-class laser operating at 800 nm. The extreme concentration of energy possible with Gemini makes it one of the most intense lasers in the world.

Artemis
An ultrafast soft x-ray science facility based on ultra-fast XUV pulses. Artemis aims to bring together femtosecond laser and synchrotron technologies to enable new science in the emerging field of ultrafast x-rays.

Lasers for Science Facility
The Lasers for Science Facility offers one of the most concentrated and versatile array of laser systems and expertise in the world.

The revenue from this activity is channelled back into scientific research and new facility developments for the benefit of the scientific community as a whole.
