Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

NAMEFACILITY SUMMARYEXPERIMENTSHIGHLIGHTS
ApollonApollon is a multi PW, multi beam laser facility open to the international community via a call for proposal.SFQED, particles acceleration, laboratory astrophysics, warm dense matter  
Central Laser Facility​​​The Central Laser Facility provides a broad spectrum of laser facilities, from high intensity laser systems to ultra-fast sources and laser microscopy techniques. Underpinning the laser facilities are enabling capabilities, from computational plasma physics to target mi​cro-fabrication and engineering​.​  
CXFEL - Compact X-ray Free Electron LaserThe compact X-ray free electron laser (CXFEL) brings ultrashort X-ray technology from large scale, expensive multibillion-dollar XFEL facilities at national labs to the university – the place where researchers work with their students on novel discoveries for a small fraction of the cost. Currently, there are only five large X-ray free electron lasers in the world, so that only five experiments can be done at any time.  
ELI - Extreme Light InfrastructureThe Extreme Light Infrastructure is the world's largest and most advanced high-power laser infrastructure and a global technology and innovation leader in high-power, high-intensity, and short-pulsed laser systems.
The international laser user facility ELI accommodates some of the most intense lasers in the world. ELI’s lasers produce ultra-short pulses of high energy photons, electrons, protons, neutrons.		  
Laboratory for InfraRed-driven Intense-field Science (LIRIS)LIRIS high-power mid-infrared (MIR) lasers open up new possibilities for various strong-field applications, including high harmonic generation, light filamentation in gases, and relativistic plasma physics. LIRIS has developed chirped pulse amplifiers and optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers operating within the 3–8-micron range.Light filamentation and non-perturbative harmonic generation is gases. Hard X-ray generation in liquid targets 
Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester (UR/LLE)The Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester (UR/LLE), a premier research facility dedicated to advancing the frontiers of science and technology, explores laser-driven fusion and high-energy-density physics, contributing to national security, energy independence, and scientific discovery.Fundamental and applied high-energy-density physics (HEDP), such as inertial confinement fusion, plasma physics, laboratory astrophysics, material science at extreme conditions.LLE Offers: Education and Training, Workforce Development, and access to a National Laser User Facility (NLUF)

Laserlab-Europe

(https://laserlab-europe.eu/ and https://lasers4.eu/)

Laserlab-Europe, bringing together 47 leading laser research infrastructures in 22 European countries, is committed to facilitating the development of advanced lasers and laser-based technologies in Europe; the majority of the members provides open access to their facilities to international scientists through the EU-funded Lasers4EU project on a large variety of topics.  
NEXT - An international network for Non-linear Extreme ultraviolet to hard X-ray TechniquesThe NEXT COST Action relies on the pioneering promising results, reported over the last decade, to create the first concerted experimental and theoretical effort aimed at implementing EUV/X-ray non-linear spectroscopies at table-top HHG and XFEL light sources. EUV/X-ray science; Non-linear optics; High Harmonic Generation and Free Electron Laser sources; Methods and instrumentation developmentSubscription link to Action
NSF NeXUSNeXUS provides access to ultrafast optical capabilities, with extreme ultraviolet probe pulses and a broad spectrum of pump pulses, coupled to a variety of end stations to support measurements of chemicals, biochemicals, and materials.XUV, femtosecond, attosecond, pump-probe, ARPES, STM, absorption, reflection, liquid sheet, photoelectronNew call for user proposals twice per year
ZEUSZEUS produces petawatt power pulses focused to ultra-high intensities that enable studies of strong-field physics, relativistic electron beams and other extreme plasma conditions in the laboratory.Strong-field physics and relativistic plasmas, laser wakefield accelerators and applications, laser driven protons, ions and neutrons, extreme laboratory astrophysics, nuclear photonics
