The Laser and Synchrotron Research Centre (LASOR) is developing new lasers with extreme performance in ultra-precise, high-intensity and ultra-short pulse lasers. The state-of-the-art soft X-ray beamline is also being developed using synchrotron radiation. LASOR is responsible for advanced spectroscopy, such as high-resolution, time-resolved spectroscopy, diffraction or scattering imaging, using new coherent light sources based on laser and synchrotron technology over a wide spectral range from terahertz to X-ray. In LASOR, a wide range of materials sciences for semiconductors, strongly correlated materials, molecular materials, surfaces and interfaces, and biomaterials will be studied, as well as industrial sciences such as laser processing using advanced light sources and advanced spectroscopy. The aim of LASOR is to integrate laser science and synchrotron radiation science. Most of the research activities on the development of new high-power lasers and their application to materials science are carried out at Kashiwa I and II campuses. On the other hand, experiments using synchrotron radiation are carried out at SPring-8 and NanoTerasu.
