The infrared user facility FELIX

For more: click on this figure!! 

 

The user facility comprises three different beamlines. Two beamlines, FEL1 and FEL2, provide continuously tunable radiation in the spectral range of 2500-40 cm-1 (4-250 mm, 1.2-75 THz) peak powers ranging up to 100 MW in (sub)picosecond pulses, and is being used for scientific research in (bio-)medicine, (bio-)chemistry and (bio-)physics. The third beamline, FELICE, is devoted to intra-cavity experiments on gas phase (bio-)molecules/ions, clusters and complexes. It provides continuously tunable radiation in the spectral range of 2000-250 cm-1 (5-40 mm) and the infrared intensity available to the experiment is a factor of up to a hundred increased compared to FELIX.

 

Research proposals are solicited for the period:

 

  • 1 September 2011 - 29 February 2012 with deadline 1 June 2011

 

Beam time will be allocated on the basis of a review of the submitted research proposals by a programma advisory committee.
