Nonlinear propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses in bulk transparent media leads
to a specific propagation regime, termed femtosecond filamentation, which in turn produces …

The peak power of present-day lasers is limited by the pulse energy that the diffraction
gratings of an optical compressor can withstand. A promising method to overcome this …

In the 2015 review paper 'Petawatt Class Lasers Worldwide'a comprehensive overview of
the current status of high-power facilities of was presented. This was largely based on facility …

The pulse duration at the output of femtosecond lasers is usually close to the Fourier limit,
and can be shortened by increasing the spectral width. To this end, use is made of self …

Supercontinuum generation in a solid-state medium was investigated experimentally. A
continuum covering 460 to 950 nm was obtained when 0.8 mJ/30 fs Ti: sapphire laser …

The PEARL laser output pulse with a duration of 60-70 fs was compressed to 11 fs after
passing through a 5-mm thick silica plate and reflecting from two chirping mirrors with a total …

The physics of strong-field applications requires driver laser pulses that are both energetic
and extremely short. Whereas optical amplifiers, laser and parametric, boost the energy …

The input pulse of the laser PEARL with energy of 18 J and pulse duration of about 60 fs
was compressed to 10 fs after passage through a 4-mm-thick KDP crystal and reflection at …

The rapid development of the optical-cycle-level ultra-fast laser technologies may break
through the bottleneck of the traditional ultra-intense laser [ie, Petawatt (PW, 1015 W) laser …

The pulse spectrum at the laser output was broadened due to self-phase modulation in
fused silica and then the pulse was compressed by chirped mirrors. It was demonstrated that …
