Final Report Abstract

The Munich-Centre for Advanced Photonics (MAP) has been established to advance femtosecondattosecond technology, laser-driven photon and charged-particle sources, as well as ultrafast measurement techniques. During its 13 years of existence, MAP has been defining the frontiers in these areas by creating frequency combs with broadest spectral coverage, ultrashort pulses with highest peak/average power, from the infrared through visible to extreme ultraviolet and X-ray light with shortest durations, ranging from a few femtoseconds to less than 100 attoseconds, and highenergy charged-particle beams with highest phase-space density. These world-leading ultrafast laser techniques permitted MAP researchers to perform studies of electronic phenomena in all forms of matter: atoms, molecules, nanostructures, surfaces, and solids, with highest temporal and spatial resolution. Moreover, they have been used for novel applications in life sciences and medicine, such as phase-contrast X-ray imaging, ion-beam tumor therapy, and infrared molecular fingerprinting. More than 200 early-career researchers acquired their PhD degree in the Cluster and contribute to the proliferation of advanced ultrafast technologies into academic and industrial laboratories. MAP contributed to sharpening the profile of the Munich Research Landscape, strengthening and sustaining world-wide leadership in ultrafast photonics and its applications. During its lifespan, the Cluster has spawn a dozen new professorships. The new faculty, along with more than a dozen other colleagues representing the disciplines of laser, X-ray, atomic, molecular, and medical physics, physical chemistry, computer science, radiobiology, and radiology established a graduate school, the International Max-Planck-Research School for Advanced Photon Science (IMPRSAPS), offering a structured and balanced cross-disciplinary training and tuition in laser science and its applications. IMPRS-APS became a brand in graduate training, attracting year-by-year outstanding students from all over the world to Munich. In addition to the IMPRS-APS, the cluster’s educational activities yielded a newly found DFG research training network on Advanced Medical Physics for Image-Guided Cancer Therapy (GRK2274). Notwithstanding these values, the most valuable asset MAP has added to the Munich Research Landscape is the strategic inter-disciplinary partnership between physics /computer science and biomedicine / medicine. The new alliance has joined forces to create a new infrastructure, the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications (CALA), for developing state-of-the-art high-peak- and/or high-average-power lasers for driving infrared, X-ray and charged-particle sources for biomedical applications. Commissioned in 2018, CALA is a leading university-scale installation in ultrafast laser techniques, laser-driven secondary source technologies, and home to the worldwide unique compact brilliant synchrotron light source MuCLS. Its mission is to explore the utility of ultrafast laser techniques for early detection, diagnosis and therapy of cancer and other chronic diseases, offering unique research opportunities in areas of highest societal relevance.
