The Centre is focused on plasma and laser investigations and their application in practice.
In the area of the methods of plasma production the works are primarily concentrated on the discharges in gases under atmospheric pressure (particularly microwave discharges) and modelling of obtained in such way plasma. Plasma technologies are being developed for purification of flue gases from ecologically harmful components (mainly nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons).
Investigations and development of the laser constructions of large power (mainly of CO2 flow lasers) and the investigations of new laser media in a condensed phase encompass amongst the others physical basis of interaction between a coherent radiation and a matter and fundamentals of new technologies. Conducted is dissemination, development and implementation of laser techniques and laser technologies. Part of the works dealing with applications of laser techniques is directed toward a precission processing of materials (NATO SfP 972685 - Copper Bromide Laser) and visualisation and velocity field measurements in gases and liquids.
The Centre is divided into five research groups:
Activity of the Centre of Plasma and Laser Engineering is available as a PDF documents, since the year 2000.
