The Laser Physics group at the Institute of Applied Physics explores how advanced laser systems and optical technologies can be used to generate, control, and measure light across a broad range of time scales and wavelengths. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Alexander Heidt, the group combines expertise in specialty optical fibers, nonlinear fiber optics, ultrafast laser systems, and frequency-comb-based measurement techniques, together with established activities in nonlinear terahertz science and ultrafast molecular spectroscopy.
Our work connects fundamental studies of light–matter interaction with advanced optical methods for spectroscopy and interdisciplinary photonics. Through national and international collaborations, we contribute to both fundamental research and application-oriented photonic technologies.
