The Extreme Light Infrastructure( ELI) operates some of the world’ s most advanced high-intensity laser systems across three complementary sites. Providing competitive, excellence-based access to international users, ELI enables research in attosecond science, relativistic laser – plasma interaction, nuclear photonics and laser-driven particle acceleration. ELI’ s integrated User Programme supports frontier science and the development of enabling photonic technologies.
The Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC( ELI) is the world ' s largest laser-based research infrastructure. The international user facility dedicated to multi-disciplinary science and research applications provides access to high-power, high-repetition-rate laser systems. ELI’ s lasers generate secondary sources from attosecond pulses to high-intensity particle beams, enabling imaging, spectroscopy and studies of relativistic laser – plasma interaction and particle acceleration. These technologies also support the development of high gradient particle accelerators for the next generation of compact photon and neutron sources. ELI operates as a single multi-site organisation with three facilities specialised in different fields of research with extreme light: the ELI Attosecond Light Pulse Source( Hungary) for high power few cycle lasers with attosecond
