The Nebraska-Kansas Consortium will apply ultrafast laser technologies at the intersection of photonics and electronics to investigate how light interacts with matter, one of the grand challenges of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) research. Shown here is the Diocles Extreme Light Laboratory at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
