Extreme Lasers and Exotic Plasmas Lab
저희 연구실에서는 극한의 고출력 레이저와 플라즈마 간 상호작용에 대한 다양한 연구와 응용 분야 개발에 관심을 두고 있습니다. 주요 연구 분야로는 (1) 레이저-플라즈마 차세대 가속기에서 안정적인 전자빔 생성 및 극초단 엑스선 광원 개발 연구, (2) 초강력 레이저와 플라즈마 간 상호작용을 통해 지구에서는 존재할 수 없는 우주의 극한 환경, 예를 들어 블랙홀 주변에서 발생할 수 있는 극한 현상을 실험적으로 구현하는 연구, (3) 레이저-플라즈마 상호작용을 이용한 THz 광원 생성 및 플라즈마 광학 연구, (4) 엑스선 자유전자레이저 모드 개발 및 소형화 연구에 관한 활동 등을 진행하고 있습니다. 저희 연구실은 초강력 레이저를 활용하여 소형 전자가속기 및 다양한 광원을 개발하여 반도체부터 의료에 이르는 첨단 산업 기술 연구를 진행하는 한편, 우주의 극한 상태에 대한 기초 연구도 함께 수행하고 있습니다.
Our lab is focused on investigating the interaction between extreme intense lasers and plasmas, as well as developing a range of applications in this field. Our primary research areas include: (1) developing stable electron beams and ultrashort X-ray sources for next-generation laser-plasma accelerators, (2) experimentally recreating extreme cosmic environments, such as those near black holes, which cannot be replicated on Earth, (3) generating THz radiation and studying plasma optics, and (4) creating new modes for X-ray free-electron lasers and miniaturizing systems through integration with next-generation accelerators. Through these efforts, we aim to contribute to advanced industrial technologies—from semiconductors to medical applications—by developing compact electron accelerators and various light sources using ultra-intense lasers, while also advancing fundamental research on the extreme states of the universe.
