Velocitas VMI Research and Collaborations

We have a long history of collaboration with world-class research institutions and ultrafast laser laboratories, leading to the development of the Velocitas VMI range of instrumentation. In the design and testing of the Velocitas VMI PRIME and DOUBLE PRIME ion optics, we worked with:

Prof Marc Vrakking, MBI Berlin
Prof Mike Ashfold, University of Bristol

As well as in University of Bristol and MBI, Velocitas VMI Ion Optics are being used in international research laboratories, including:

Sandia National Laboratories, Prof. David Chandler, Chemical Dynamics
Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel The Attosecond Science Group

Velocitas VMI continues to work on many other collaborative R&D projects, such as the investigation of high repetition pulsed valves and 3D imaging capabilities. Velocitas VMI instrumentation has been used in many other research laboratories worldwide, including:

University College London, UK
Durham University, UK
Politecnico di Milano, Italy
University of Pennsylvania, USA
University of Nottingham, UK
Universite Bordeaux, France
Herriot Watt University, UK
University of Leeds, UK
… plus many more.
