Our paper on Supercontinuum generation in a methane-filled hollow-core antiresonant fiber is among the January-March 2025 top downloads in Optics Letters! It’s encouraging to see our work gaining interest within the community - congratulations to Balazs and all co-authors!
Congratulations to Chris who has been awarded a Starting Grant from the European Research Council. Funded with €2.5M, the FASTER project will bring attosecond time resolution to optical ultrafast spectroscopy in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared. As part of this project, two post-doc positions and up to three PhD studentships will be available starting in the summer of 2025 (for more details, see Join Us).
We are delighted to announce that the LUPO team is joined by a new PhD student, Gustavo Martins; plus a new postdoc, Jacopo Siliprandi. A warm welcome also to Marina Fernández Galán - who is a visiting PhD student from Universidad de Salamanca, Spain. Looking forward to working with all of you!
Welcome to our new PhD student Mats Kroneberg! Mats will be working on advanced tuneable hollow-core fiber optical parametric light sources. Here’s to a great time at LUPO and to exiting results!
Congratulations to LUPO post-doc Martin Gebhardt who has been selected by the European Research Executive Agency for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship. His project entitled “High-Energy Short-Wavelength Infrared Soliton Dynamics and Sub-Cycle Strong-Field Physics” is funded through the UK Research and Innovation Horizon Europe guarantee.
We will present our most recent research results at HILAS in Vienna, Austria on March 12th to 14th 2024. There will be three posters presentations and one contributed talk given by LUPO team members. Browse the programme

Prof. John C. Travers has been awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies, a major research fellowship, providing ten years of underpinning support (£2.5m) to work on new technologies with great potential. His work will be focused on producing practical high-brightness and ultrafast far-ultraviolet, X-ray and electron beams. More information can be found here.
We are thrilled to share that professor of physics at Heriot-Watt University and director of LUPO, John C. Travers has been named as the recipient of the A F Harvey Engineering Research Prize - the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s (IET) most prestigious award. More information and the official press release can be found here.
