NAME	DESCRIPTION
Crystals Spectroscopy laboratory	The main projects in the Lab dealt with optical versions of so-called X-waves
Laboratory of Laser Spectroscopy	• High-resolution laser spectroscopy of solids (doped crystals, glasses and films) combined with various external influences (e.g., spectral hole burning under high hydrostatic pressure at low temperatures: - investigation of basic phenomena (photochromic properties, structural relaxation processes, low-energy excitations, quantum confinement effects) in solids of different degree of disorder - development of novel methods for testing (single-molecule spectroscopy) and fabricating (laser ablation) new materials for optoelectronic applications.
Laboratory of Laser Techniques	• Laser-based processes and technologies. Development of compact "sealed-off" excimer lasers. Spectroscopic diagnostics of plasmo-chemical processes in high-pressure gas mixtures under a fast high-current discharge excitation. • Multiphoton processes in intense laser fields: non-linear optics, generation of harmonics of the fundamental laser light, multiphoton excitation and ionization of gaseous and solid targets, laser-induced breakdown. Generation, properties and interaction with matter of several new types of non-Gaussian laser beams. • Laser spectroscopy of jet-cooled organic molecules and complexes of spectroscopic and biological interest: laser induced fluorescence (LIF), resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI).
Laboratory of Solid State Theory	In the laboratory, physical processes in condensed matter are theoretically investigated. Main research topics are: • vibronic and electron-electron interactions in disordered and strongly correlated systems • strong anharmonic effects in lattice dynamics • nonperturbative dynamics of solids, vibrational solitons • coherent and incoherent optical processes • high temperature superconductivity • structural phase transitions • mesoscopic systems (clusters and films) • theory of glasses • composite materials • wave optics • chaos and critical phenomena in the case of a strong pulse excitation of the sample.
