Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory

After evaluation by the German Council of Science and Humanities basic funding was recommended and in 2003 the construction of the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory started on the site of the HZDR.

In December 2004, the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory headed by Prof. Dr. Joachim Wosnitza was founded.

Uniquely, the radiation provided by the free-electron lasers (FEL) of the neighboring superconducting electron accelerator ELBE can be used for magneto-optical experiments in the infrared spectral range.

In response to the large user demand, the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD) was extended.

Partners in the EMFL project are: the Dutch "High Magnetic Field Laboratory" in Nijmegen, the French "Laboratoire des Champs Magnétiques Intenses" (LNCMI) in Grenoble and Toulouse and the HLD.
