The manipulation of ultraintense laser beams gets increasingly challenging with growing
laser peak power, as the breakdown of conventional optics imposes ever larger beam …

A hologram fully encodes a three-dimensional light field by imprinting the interference
between the field and a reference beam in a recording medium. Here we show that two …

The peak power of a femtosecond laser is limited by the size and damage threshold of its
solid-state optical components, with the final grating of a chirped pulse amplification …

We report the first complete set of measurements of a laser-plasma optical system's
refractive index, as seen by a second probe laser beam, as a function of the relative …

Abstract The concept of Terahertz Field-Induced Second Harmonic (TFISH) Generation is
revisited to introduce a single-shot detection scheme based on third order nonlinearities …

Here, we demonstrate the generation and manipulation of hyperentanglement in
polarization and time-energy degrees of freedom. The hyperentangled photon pairs are …

Flying focus is a technique that uses a chirped laser beam focused by a highly chromatic
lens to produce an extended focal region within which the peak laser intensity can …

Plasma optics, promising for shaping and amplifying ultra-high-power laser pulses, are
subject to the huge modulations and fluctuations inherent in plasma excitation at high …

A plasma photonic crystal consists of a plasma density grating which is created in
underdense plasma by counterpropagating laser beams. When a high-power laser pulse …

The spatio-temporal and polarisation properties of intense light is important in wide-ranging
topics at the forefront of extreme light-matter interactions, including ultrafast laser-driven …
