Pulsed laser installation for pump/probe experiments.

 A Femtosecond pulsed laser for applications in fast demagnetization studies, is installed in the TEMPO beamline Laser hutch since Mai 2011. It was funded by the FEMTOMAG project presented in collaboration with Gregory Malinowsky and A. Thiaville at the  "Triangle de la physique.

TR-MOKE

A Coherent REGA pulsed laser with OPA is also installed in the same Laser hutch, since October 2011. First experiments with X beam have started at the end of 2011.
