The Laser and Synchrotron Research Centre (LASOR) is developing new lasers with extreme coherent performance in ultra-precise, high-intensity and/or ultra-short pulse lasers, and state-of-the-art soft X-ray beamlines of synchrotron radiation sources. One of the most important aims of LASOR is to integrate laser science and synchrotron radiation science, and develop creative and innovative young talents. Using new coherent light sources based on laser and synchrotron radiation technology over a wide spectral range from THz to X-ray, we further develop advanced spectroscopy, such as high-resolution, time-resolved, diffraction, scattering, imaging, and operando spectroscopy. On the basis of our advanced light sources and advanced spectroscopy, we study a wide range of materials sciences for semiconductors, strongly correlated materials, molecular materials, surfaces and interfaces, and biomaterials, as well as basic industrial sciences such as laser processing. Most of the research activities on the development of new high-power lasers and their application to materials science are carried out at Kashiwa I and II campuses. Experiments using synchrotron radiation are carried out at SPring-8 and NanoTerasu.
