Technical Specification

Engineering drawing of the Artemis facility

Artemis provides three ultrafast, synchronised laser beamlines, two XUV beamlines and two end-stations for atomic and molecular physics and condensed matter science. We also have space for visiting research groups to install their own equipment.

The laser and XUV beamlines are:

• Carrier-envelope phase-stabilised, <30 fs, high-power drive laser (12 mJ at 1 kHz or ~3 mJ at 3 kHz)
• Few-cycle (7 fs), 800nm, 0.5 mJ pulses
• Tuneable 40 fs pulses from 235 nm to 20 micron
• Monochromatised, short pulse (10-50 fs) XUV beamline in the energy region 12-100 eV
• Broadband attosecond beamline (being commissioned)

The laser beamlines are flexibly configured so that each can be used to generate broadband or monochromatised XUV, or as a pump/probe beam in combination with another of the laser and XUV beamlines. Please discuss the combination of beamlines required with Artemis staff before submitting a proposal.
