What do we specialise in?

We are a modern and interdisciplinary unit of the National Centre for Nuclear Research, which provides the operational foundation for advanced scientific endeavours - today, primarily for the PolFEL project. Our mission is to develop and maintain an advanced research infrastructure providing technical facilities for cutting-edge physical, materials and engineering experiments.

 


The Department is implementing the PolFEL project - the construction of Poland's first free-electron laser, which will become a unique source of radiation for research at the frontiers of physics, chemistry, biology and materials science. We are responsible for the design, construction, development and maintenance of the infrastructure necessary for its operation - from laser systems, magnetic systems and optics, to experimental stations, precision measurement systems and accelerator control and synchronisation systems.

Our scientists design and implement dedicated engineering solutions - from precision mechanics, electronics and optics to complex control systems. We develop proprietary electronics and software for control, real-time data acquisition and analysis, tailored to the specific needs of the experiments.

In parallel, we develop and use unique high-energy plasma systems and technological plasma devices. Our scientists are engaged in various experimental and simulation techniques in the fields of surface engineering, thin film synthesis and plasma-matter interactions.

Our activities combine engineering, science and cutting-edge technology, supporting the development of Poland's world-class research infrastructure. We build flexible, high-tech solutions that meet the needs of modern science and industry - both today and in the prospect of future, even more ambitious research projects.
