Tamas Nagy

Dr. Tamás Nagy is the Department Head and Project Coordinator for the Ultrafast Lasers and Nonlinear Optics group at the Max Born Institute, Berlin, Germany. His research focuses on energy scaling of few-cycle pulse generation using hollow-core fiber compressors and optical parametric amplification systems, with recent breakthroughs in TW-level sub-2-cycle pulses and attosecond pump-probe spectroscopy.

• PhD in Physics (summa cum laude), University of Szeged (2004)
• MS in Physics, Attila József University Szeged (1997)

His work spans ultrafast laser physics, nonlinear optics, and attosecond science, with innovations in hollow-core fiber technology for spectral broadening and pulse compression. Recent publications highlight advancements in high-energy few-cycle pulses, attosecond wavepackets, and MIR radiation generation.

Key article trends include:

• Development of stretched hollow-core fibers for scalable energy compression
• Optimization of OPCPA systems for near-IR few-cycle pulses
• Novel techniques in attosecond spectroscopy and pulse characterization
• Exploration of plasmonic nanoantennas and relativistic laser interactions

Scientific Awards:

• OSA Senior Member (2018)
• General Chair and Program Chair for High-Intensity Lasers and High-Field Phenomena (HILAS) conferences

Collaborates with team members including Martin Kretschmar, Günter Steinmeyer, and Uwe Morgner, contributing to projects in time-resolved XUV science and laser-plasma interactions.
