Research

The activity of the Solid Lasers Laboratory (LLS) began in 1978 and focused on the study, development and application of solid lasers. Our lab is pioneer in Argentina in the technology of all-solid state lasers.  Since 1992, LLS notable milestones with international impact have been the realization of the first Nd:YAG laser with mode-locking by Kerr effect, studies on the chaotic regimen of the femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser, the first experimental verification of violation of Bell's inequality in our country and the first description of Extreme Events (Rogue Waves)  in the Ti:Sapphire laser. The working group has vast experience in the design and construction of diode pumped solid lasers as well as development of rangefinders. All the lasers used in the LLS experiments have been designed and built in this laboratory.

Testing a hypothetical transient deviation from Quantum Mechanics: preliminary results

The conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and the intuitive concepts of Locality and Realism (LR) is most noticeable in the correlation between measurements performed in remote regions of a spatially spread entangled state of photons. It has been hypothesized that a transient deviation (from the value predicted by QM) may occur if the correlation is measured in a time shorter than L/c, where L is the spatial spread of the entangled state and c is the speed of light. This hypothesis solves the conflict by minimally modifying the interpretation of QM, and opens the door to interesting possibilities. Technical reasons make the hypothesis impossible to test directly nowadays, but a stroboscopic observation is attainable. We present preliminary, non conclusive results of an experiment in progress aimed to perform that test.
