The National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics (INFLPR) is a national research institute established in 1978, with a solid background in many areas of physics and science. It performs fundamental and exploratory research in the domains of laser physics and applications, solid state quantum electronics, plasma physics and technologies, thin films and nanotechnology, photonics, to which we add electron acceleration and laser plasma acceleration of charged particles.

The institute was the first in Romania and a pioneer in implementing quantum technologies since the 1970s, due to a research agenda that resulted in the fabrication of 9 atomic clocks based on the Hydrogen maser, delivered to the Astronomical Observatory (Academy of Sciences) or to the Natl. Inst. of Metrology, both located in Bucharest.

In addition, as participant in several ESA missions, the institute holds also a remarkable expertise in domains such as quantum optics, precision measurements and quantum technologies based on ultracold trapped ions, optical clocks and frequency metrology.
