Ten years, four world records, one visionary. HiLASE Laser Centre celebrates its first decade. It successfully links the fields of development, research, and high-tech industry to fulfil its mission of Superlasers for the Real World. Behind the ground-breaking results of research activities and projects stand the scientists, experts and professionals of the centre, the so-called HiLASIANS.
Since its foundation, HiLASE Centre, which is part of the Institute of Physics of the CAS, has been managed by Tomáš Mocek. Under his leadership, the idea has been transformed from a project application into a truly functioning laser centre, which today is one of the global leaders in the field of laser technology.
