A comprehensive treatment of ultrafast optics This book fills the need for a thorough and
detailed account of ultrafast optics. Written by one of the most preeminent researchers in the …

We review the field of femtosecond pulse shaping, in which Fourier synthesis methods are
used to generate nearly arbitrarily shaped ultrafast optical wave forms according to user …

Optical arbitrary waveform generation will allow waveforms to be synthesized at optical
frequencies but with the flexibility currently available at radiofrequencies. This technique is …

Coherent quantum control,, has attracted interest as a means to influence the outcome of a
quantum-mechanical interaction. In principle, the quantum system can be steered towards a …

The temporal characterization of ultrafast laser pulses has become a cornerstone capability
of ultrafast optics laboratories and is routine both for optimizing laser pulse duration and …

Optical and radio-frequency waveforms with wide-band arbitrary modulation are generated
using spectral shaping of a supercontinuum source followed by wavelength-to-time …

We report on computer controlled compression of femtosecond laser pulses using a
programmable liquid crystal spatial light modulator which is feedback-controlled by an …

We report computer-controlled femtosecond polarization pulse shaping where intensity,
momentary frequency, and light polarization are varied as functions of time. For the first time …
