From January 13th till 27th, 2013 Stefan Spiekermeier visited the Group of Prof. Ömer Ilday at Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey. Dr. Marc Böke, his supervisor, visited as well from January 22nd till 24th, 2013.
His group developed the fiber-laser-system that is used for laser assisted plasma breakdown and phase resolved absorption spectroscopy at RUB. During the stay, a new temperature stabilized oscillator for the laser has been tested. Further improvements for the laser have been discussed. Aside from that, an attempt to ignite a plasma inside a hollow-core-PCF-fiber has been made.
