FOCUS - Frontiers in Optical Coherent and Ultrafast Science
FOCUS is a National Science Foundation Physics Frontier Center devoted to research at the frontier of optical coherent and ultrafast science.
The FOCUS Center includes 20 faculty and research scientists at the University of Michigan and the University of Texas. The FOCUS mission is to provide leadership in coherent control in quantum, ultrafast, and high field physics.

Downloadable program package LabII makes it possible to simulate a variety of experimental setups and devices which can be found in a femtosecond laser lab. Package runs in LabView environment. LabII was developed at the Institute for Optics and Quantum Electronics (IOQ) of the Friedrich-Schiller-University (Jena).
