Ultrafast and High Field Physics

Ultrafast Sites

http://www.lab2.de/
(Downloadable program package LabII makes it possible to simulate a variety of experimental setups and devices which can be found in a femtosecond laser lab.  Package runs in LabView environment.  LabII was developed at the Institute for Optics and Quantum Electronics (IOQ) of  the Friedrich-Schiller-University (Jena)).
