Welcome to Femtosecond Laser Lab

 

Established in the year 2004 the Femtosecond Laser Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur primarily focuses on theoretical and experimental laser-based optical approaches of coherent control of molecular dynamics leading to vast applications ranging from quantum computing to bio-imaging. More specifically, we are investigating ultrafast laser pulse shaping applications in gaseous and liquid phase molecular dynamics, opto-electronics & optical communication, biologically relevant multi-photon fluorescence microscopy & optical trapping and knotting all these odd ends together leading to quantum computing. Dr.Goswami being the principal investigator, the group has students from diversified areas of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Laser Technology.
