Julius Wessolek is a German researcher born in Wiesbaden. He received his master’s degree in physics from Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. For his master's project, Julius conducted laser resonance ionisation spectroscopy on lead to develop an efficient ionization scheme suitable for titanium sapphire laser-based RILIS as part of the laser ion source group at TRIUMF in Vancouver, Canada.
Working with Ti:Sa lasers for laser ionization and spectroscopy at TRIUMF, Julius developed a deep interest in these systems and gained initial hands-on experience. The position at M Squared Lasers within the LISA program provides him with a unique opportunity to further his knowledge and to work towards the development of a next-generation Ti:Sa laser system for ion beam spectroscopy.
In his free time and when the weather allows, Julius enjoys hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing in the Scottish outdoors. Classical concerts and cooking are his favourite alternatives for rainy days.
Develop, optimize and test a pulsed, injection-locked, narrow-linewidth Ti:Sapphire laser amplifier with low noise, automated wavelength tuning, and high powers for ion beam spectroscopy experiments.
Development of an industry-leading, high-power, pulsed Ti:Sapphire amplifier with low noise levels, high powers, and wavelength tuning agility to match capabilities required for ion beam production and spectroscopy; in-depth investigation of cavity designs such as bow-tie configuration, for maximum performance capabilities; develop an incorporate locking mechanisms and achieve narrow MHz range linewidth; engineer pre-prototype to produce a low noise output and automated wavelength tuning; optimize, test and validate the system in ion beam spectroscopy experiments at beneficiary/partner institutions.
