Nonlinear propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses in bulk transparent media leads
to a specific propagation regime, termed femtosecond filamentation, which in turn produces …

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 …

Filamentation of ultrashort laser pulses in the atmosphere offers unique opportunities for
long-range transmission of high-power laser radiation and standoff detection. With the …

Mid-infrared ultrashort high energy laser sources are opening up new opportunities in
science, including keV-class high harmonic generation and monoenergetic MeV-class …

The generation of power-and wavelength-scalable few optical cycle pulses remains one of
the major challenges in modern laser physics. Over the past decade, the development of …

We report an experimental proof and full characterization of laser generation in molecular
nitrogen in an argon-nitrogen gas mixture remotely excited at a distance above 2 m in a …

The Keldysh photoionization theory is a conceptual cornerstone and a universal framework
for the description of a broad class of fundamental effects in light–matter interaction. Here …

Filamentation-assisted pulse compression in the gas phase is shown to enable the
generation of subterawatt few-cycle pulses in the mid-infrared (mid-IR). With both spatial …

We have developed the first (to our knowledge) femtosecond Tm-fiber-laser-pumped Ho:
YAG room-temperature chirped pulse amplifier system delivering scalable multimillijoule …
