The project was realized in the newly built laboratory at the Laboratory for Laser
Technique of the Physics Department at Sofia University. That laboratory is equipped
with appropriate large-size table-tops and air-conditioning.
The purchase of laser femtosecond amplifier allow to broaden significantly the
area of experiments that can be done in the Laboratory for Femtosecond Photonics at
Sofia University, that include experiments in physics, chemistry, biology and material
science.
The achievement of this project will influence positively the prospective for future
international projects and projects within the Framework Programmes of the European
Union.
