Ultrashort terahertz pulses derived from femtosecond table-top sources have become a
valuable tool for time-resolved spectroscopy during the last two decades. Until recently, the …

We present an overview of nonlinear phenomena related to optical quadratic solitons—
intrinsically multi-component localized states of light, which can exist in media without …

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 …

The principles and most-recent results of high-power THz generation through optical
rectification using a tilted optical pulse front are described. Single-cycle THz pulses of …

A compressor is designed that presents an opposite sign of the dispersion to that of standard
two grating compressors. This is achieved by placing a telescope between gratings in order …

Detailed analysis of the tilted-pulse-front pumping scheme used for ultrashort THz pulse
generation by optical rectification of femtosecond laser pulses is presented. It is shown that …

Using a 400 μJ ytterbium laser combined with a novel pulse compression technique, we
demonstrate a state-of-the-art terahertz (THz) source from the tilted-pulse front pumping …

The electric field of an ultrashort laser pulse often fails to separate into a product of purely
temporal and purely spatial factors. These so-called spatio-temporal couplings constitute a …

Derivation of the pulse front tilt caused by angular dispersion Page 1 Optical and Quantum
Electronics 28 (1996) 1759-1763 Derivation of the pulse front tilt caused by angular dispersion …

We present a rigorous, but mathematically relatively simple and elegant, theory of first-order
spatio-temporal distortions, that is, couplings between spatial (or spatial-frequency) and …
