NOLIMITS is a Core Facility for non-linear optical microscopy and spectroscopy, supported by both the Faculty of Sciences and Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. It serves the Ghent University research community and (non-)academic external partners by grouping over a decade of expertise and advanced infrastructure related to ultrashort pulsed lasers and the advanced accompanying optical spectroscopy and microscopy instruments. These tools support the most advanced materials research by diving into extremely short time scales (down to femtoseconds) and ultra-small length scales (down to sub micrometers). Additionally, it supports additive manufacturing processes with extreme spatial resolution. The emphasis of the Core is fundamental research, though interaction with industrial partners is welcomed.
