The Ultrafast Laser Physics
and Precision Metrology Group is headed by prof. dr. K.S.E.
Eikema. The group is a
subdivision of the Quantum Metrology and Laser
Applications group which
is also headed by him since November 2022
(and previously by prof. dr. W.
Ubachs, who is still
active). A picture of the total group a few years ago in
front of the Maritime Museum is shown below.

front of the National Maritime Museum Amsterdam in 2018
Current PhD students and postdocs & master students in the group of K.S.E. Eikema:
PhD students:Charlaine Roth
Elmer Grundeman
Andres Martinez de Velasco
Yuri van der Werf
Kees Steinebach
Postdocs:
Vincent Barbe
For the members in the combined group of Stefan Witte and Kjeld Eikema at ARCNL, see the ARCNL EUV Generation and Imaging group (and also see below).
Current collaborators:
Dr. Stefan Witte Group leader of at ARCNL of the EUV Generation and Imaging Group.Prof. dr. Wim Ubachs, dr. Edcel Salumbides and prof. dr. Rick Bethlem on the theme of precision spectroscopy in molecules, and testing the constancy of fundamental constants.
Prof. dr. Rick Bethlem, on two meta-stable helium projects (determination of alpha, and charge radius difference 4He and 3He).
Dr. Jeroen Koelemeij on the theme HD+ spectroscopy and time and frequency dissemination over fiber links.
Prof. dr. Frederic Merkt and co-workers from the ETH Zurich, on the theme of precision spectroscopy in molecules (H2).
