The operational unit

CNR - Istituto di Fotonica e Nanotecnologie (IFN) is recognized worldwide for developing ultrafast laser sources, XUV and soft-X instrumentation, and advanced spectroscopic approaches for studying light-matter interaction.

In the Milan headquarters, the multidisciplinary team contributing to the infrastructure includes physicists, electronic engineers, and material scientists. CNR-IFN already collaborates with many universities, research institutions, infrastructures, and high-tech companies at the national and international levels, including DESY and ELETTRA. CNR-IFN will make available their expertise on the advanced characterization of ultrafast dynamics in materials by XUV and soft-X spectroscopy, high-order harmonics in solids, and ultrafast THz spectroscopy:
