Advances in attosecond science have led to a wealth of important discoveries in atomic,
molecular, and solid-state physics and are progressively directing their footsteps toward …

Contemporary ultrafast science requires reliable sources of high-energy few-cycle light
pulses. Currently two methods are capable of generating such pulses: post compression of …

Optical soliton dynamics can cause extreme alteration of the temporal and spectral shape of
a propagating light pulse. This occurs at up to kilowatt peak powers in glass-core optical …

The rise time of intense radiation determines the maximum field strength atoms can be
exposed to before their polarizability dramatically drops due to the detachment of an outer …

Modern laser sources nowadays deliver ultrashort light pulses reaching few cycles in
duration and peak powers exceeding several terawatt (TW). When such pulses propagate …

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 …

A numerical model to calculate the high-order harmonics spectrum of a macroscopic gas
target irradiated by a few-optical-cycle laser pulse is presented. The single-atom response …

Since the proof-of-principle demonstration of optical parametric amplifier to efficiently amplify
chirped pulses in 1992, optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) became a …

Coherent control of a physical or chemical process can be achieved by using phase and
amplitude modulated femtosecond laser pulses. A self-learning loop, which connects a …

We demonstrate methods to increase the energy incident on hollow fibers for spectral
broadening by self-phase modulation. We used chirped pulses for spectral broadening …
