Brief introduction to Titanium:Sapphire laser systems at GANIL

by Andres Felipe Lopez (1st year PhD student)

In recent years laser spectroscopy for studying the ground and isomeric state properties of exotic nuclei has consolidated as a versatile and powerful tool. Part of this achievement is owed to the possibility of having available narrow-bandwidth, high power, pulsed laser sources. During this short seminar we are going to travel through the basic ideas behind the Titanium-sapphire (Ti:Sa) laser systems currently used at GISELE and that will be implemented at the online setup at S3-LEB.
