Welcome to Photonics Instrumentation

The photonics instrumentation group designs, develops and builds state of the art beamline components for the SLS and SwissFEL in collaboration with other expert groups within PSI and with external companies. We closely work together with the photon diagnostics group and the optics group. One of the main responsibilities is the design and improvement of the beamline front-ends at the SLS and SwissFEL as well as the associated safety devices. We offer engineering expertise to other groups in the following areas:

• Beamline development and instrumentation
• Motion control
• Risk analysis
• Vibrations analysis and finite element analysis
