Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye
lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced …

The generation of sub‐optical‐cycle, carrier–envelope phase‐stable light pulses is one of
the frontiers of ultrafast optics. The two key ingredients for sub‐cycle pulse generation are …

We report a 100 W, 20 mJ, 1-ps, all-Yb: YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier seeded by a
microjoule-level Yb: YAG thin-disk Kerr-lens mode-locked oscillator. The regenerative …

To achieve stable and efficient amplification of seed laser, we report on a regenerative
amplifier based on chirped pulse amplification and thin-disk technology, providing an …

We present our recent progress on the development of a mid-infrared (mid-IR), multi-mJ, kHz
optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) system, pumped by a homebuilt …

Laser systems with pulse energies of a few millijoule are based on laser amplifiers to
increase the energy of laser pulses produced by their primary sources, modelocked laser …

We report on the latest developments at TRUMPF Scientific Lasers in the field of ultra-short
pulse lasers with highest output energies and powers. All systems are based on the mature …

Ultrafast spectroscopy employing laser pulses on extremely short time scales (attoseconds
to femtoseconds) enabled the study of electronic or molecular dynamics in physical and …

Over the last fifteen years, a series of theoretical and experimental investigations have
demonstrated the usefulness of circular geometries to tailor second-order nonlinear optical …
