Welcome to the MIRSURG website

MIRSURG is a three-year collaborative project funded by the European Union within its 7th Framework Programme.

The acronym MIRSURG comes from Mid-Infrared Solid-State Laser Systems for Minimally Invasive Surgery.

The main objective of MIRSURG is to develop advanced table-top solid-state photonic sources for a specific wavelength in the mid-IR spectral range, as a practical, reliable and cost effective alternative to large scale free-electron lasers, for an important application in biomedicine (health): minimally invasive surgery.

Nine partners from seven different countries, a well-balanced representation from all over Europe, are involved in this project. The project is coordinated by Valentin Petrov of the Max-Born-Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Ultrafast Spectroscopy in Berlin, Germany.

On this site you will find the Project description including the Objectives and the Structure of the consortium, information on the Partners with links, a complete bibliography including Press Releases for the general public and Results for the experts, as well as information on the organised Events.
