Munich-Centre for Advanced Photonics
Cluster of Excellence of the German
Research Foundation (DFG)
Light (all the way from the infrared to x-rays) is holding an enormous potential in a lot of applications. Photonics, the science and technology of laser light and its widespread applications, is far from being mature; rather, it belongs to the fastest growing and developing technologies of the 21st century. Photonics holds promise for dramatically speeding up electron-based information technologies, advancing single-molecule biological imaging to atomic resolution, and revolutionizing techniques for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
Physicists, biologists, chemists, and medical scientists with worldwide reputation are working together in MAP for developing next-generation lasers and laser-driven x-ray and particle sources as well as laser-based techniques and technologies for the above mentioned and other promising applications.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Summer workshop
The "International Max Planck Research School of Advanced Photon Science" (IMPRS APS) and the Cluster of Excellence "Munich Center for Advanced Photonics" (MAP) organized the workshop in Wildbad Kreuth.
NEW JOB OFFER
Professorship (W2) (6 years/tenure track) in Experimental Physics: Laser-Driven Ion Acceleration
MOVIES ABOUT MAP
Prof. Dietrich Habs played the leading part in a film, which was presented by the German TV scientific program (3satnano). For the ones who could not see the film: look
here.
The German Research Foundation ordered a film about the MAP excellence cluster. We could get the first copy for our booth on the Laser World of Photonics in June 15-18. The film with the title
"Light for the Future" is now online.
WE INTRODUCE
Dr. Matthias Kling
is Head of the Junior Research Group "Attosecond Imaging" in the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics. The group is studying the electron dynamics in complex materials with high temporal and spatial resolution. Learn more about "The beautiful world of attosecond physics" and read the
interview!
