50 years since the invention of the copper bromide vapour laser in Bulgaria

Jubilee Scientific Session "From the Idea to the Industrial Product" Fifty years since the development of the copper bromide vapour laser by Acad. Nikola Sabotinov were celebrated at a scientific session at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Acad. Nikola Sabotinov's idea of creating a low-temperature copper laser in Bulgaria was realized in 1974 when under his leadership at the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP) a copper bromide vapour laser was launched and recognized as the invention of the year in 1979. In order to improve its characteristics, a number of theoretical and experimental studies had been carried out, and the effect of hydrogen was discovered. Thus, the most powerful entirely Bulgarian gas laser generating in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum was created [...]

SRTI celebrates the International Aviation and Cosmonautics Day

The Space Research and Technology Institute (SRTI) of BAS is organizing today an Open Day on the occasion of the International Day of Aviation and Cosmonautics. The Director, Prof. Georgi Zhelev, welcomed scientists and guests and recalled Bulgaria's successes as a space-faring country. In 2024 we celebrate the 45th anniversary of the flight of the first Bulgarian cosmonaut Georgi Ivanov. Bulgaria is already part of NASA's Artemis programme which will most likely become a stepping stone for a flight to Mars, Prof. Zhelev said and added that our country's participation could ensure the flight of a third Bulgarian cosmonaut. Scientists of SRTI are working on many projects in different fields, the director of the institute also said. The results of the scientific developments were presented [...]
