The ELI Beamlines Research Center is working to complete the installation of the revolutionary ELIAS system. This system, which forms the core of the newly emerging coating laboratory, is a fundamental step towards the realization of the IMPULSE and THRILL projects. These projects, financed by the European program Horizon Europe, are aimed at pushing the boundaries in the field of laser technologies and nanostructured multilayers.
The ELIAS system, equipped with a vacuum chamber for evaporation of thin layers, is a key part of the laboratory. The chamber, made of special stainless steel, weighs 12 tons and its dimensions enable the application of layers on optical elements up to 1200 mm in size. The technology, developed in cooperation with Streicher and Vacuum Innovations (USA), ensures high uniformity and durability of deposited layers, which is necessary for mirrors, diffraction gratings and vacuum windows used in large laser systems.
