Focusing control of ultrashort pulsed beams is an important research topic, due to its impact
to subsequent interaction with matter. In this work, we study the propagation near the focus …

We propose the use of kinoform diffractive lenses to focus near infrared femtosecond pulses
in sapphire crystals for supercontinuum generation. It is shown that a strongly peaked …

In this work we study the impact of chromatic focusing of few-cycle laser pulses on high-
order-harmonic generation (HHG) through analysis of the emitted extreme ultraviolet (XUV) …

We retrieve the wavelength dependent wavefront of ultrashort pulses focused with a
kinoform diffractive lens using the spatiotemporal characterization technique STARFISH …

We show that a simple diffractive phase element (DPE) can be used to manipulate at will the
positions and energy of multiple filaments generated in fused silica under femtosecond …

We show that a simple diffraction focusing element can alleviate mechanical tolerances in
ultrafast laser microprocessing. In particular, we experimentally demonstrate that, in …

In this paper, we demonstrate novel properties in the phenomenology of supercontinuum
generation in sapphire with diffractive lenses and provide a complete spatial, spectral, and …

We demonstrate the utilization of Dammann lenses codified onto a spatial light modulator
(SLM) for triggering non-linear effects. With continuous wave illumination Dammann lenses …

We present a new approach for wavefront characterization of near transform-limited intense
femtosecond beams using the angular and spectral dependences of the second-harmonic …

We experimentally demonstrate Fresnel holograms able to produce multifocal irradiance
patterns with micrometric spatial resolution. These holograms are assessed from the …
