Research team

Karel Hamal Professor of the quantum electronics at the Czech Technical University, Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Department of Physical Electronics. He has been involved in laser physics since 1965 and in satellite laser ranging since 1970. His field is picosecond lasers for plasma physics and satellite laser ranging. Recently, he is involved also in lidar and satellite laser ranging calibration standards.
Ivan Procházka Professor of the applied physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Department of Physical Electronics. He has been involved in laser ranging since 1974 and in solid state photon counting techniques since 1984. His field of interest is picoseconds timing techniques, satellite laser ranging and low light level detector technology. Recently, he is involved also in photon counting applications in lidar, atmospheric remote sensing and space techniques.
Josef Blažej Assistant professor at the Czech Technical University, Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Department of Physical Electronics. His field of interest is picosecond lasers, detectors and electronics. His present research comprises time correlated photon counting using solid state photon counters and its application in laser ranging, picosecond time resolved spectroscopy, quantum cryptography and optical time domain reflectometry.
