Institute of Plasma Physics and Lasers

The Institute of Plasma Physics & Lasers – IPPL is one of the six Institutes of the University Research Center of the Hellenic Mediterranean University.

Research facilities

The flagship of the equipment available to IPPL is the most powerful in Greece ultrashort laser pulse system (power 45 TW 1.1 J, <25 fs, 10 Hz).

LaPlA MSc degree

The main goal of the training program is to prepare high quality scientists and engineers in the field of laser-produced plasmas, laser physics and laser matter interaction.

Research fields

The main research areas of the Institute concern laser matter/plasma interactions, pulsed power generated plasmas and modeling and simulation of these problems.

The Institute of Plasma Physics and Lasers (https://ippl.hmu.gr/) offers the opportunity to implement cutting-edge research, while the combination of its excellent research human resources and its educational activities, has made it an internationally recognized pole of research, innovation and training in the field of laser matter/plasma interaction as well as plasma physics and technology.​

The MSc and PhD students are trained through their last semester diploma work using state of the art equipment both in experiments and simulations. IPPL is one of the access points of the National Research Infrastructure “ELI – LASERLAB Europe Synergy, HiPER & IPERION-CH.gr” (HELLAS-CH).
