The Strathclyde Terahertz
to Optical Pulse Source (TOPS) provides
high power few-cycle visible and near-infrared laser sources
(femtosecond pulses of TW peak power), together with sub-cycle
electromagnetic pulses in the far infrared (terahertz
spectral region). The sources are available to for use
by both the academic community and commercial industry.
TOPS is located in Rooms C3.07 and C3.08
of the Colville Building (situated
here) and forms part of the SILIS
group here in the University of Strathclyde Physics
Department.
