PULSED GmbH, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), and the University of Regensburg have been awarded a three-year grant by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The funding measure “Enabling Start-up” will support their collaborative effort to transition field-resolved infrared and pump-probe spectroscopy from a groundbreaking laboratory technique to practical applications in science, industry, and medicine.
Field-resolved spectroscopy, known for its ability to capture ultra-fast dynamics at unprecedented sensitivity, holds promise to revolutionize sectors such as material science and medical diagnostics. The attoworld team at LMU and the group around Prof. Rupert Huber in Regensburg are known for their pioneering work in ultrafast spectroscopy and terahertz science, which allows them to study light-matter interactions at the fastest possible timescales, often down to attoseconds (10⁻18seconds).
As part of the three-year BMBF project, a novel platform – the WINGS system – will be developed together with the young spin-off company PULSED. To demonstrate its potential, a validation phase will follow the initial research period in the lab, comprising test measurements performed at human blood samples and quantum materials.
For PULSED, the grant marks an important milestone in its company history, and the team looks forward to advancing this cutting-edge technology together with two top universities!
