Space-time wave packets (STWPs) constitute a broad class of pulsed optical fields that are
rigidly transported in linear media without diffraction or dispersion, and are therefore …

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 …

Because of their broad spectral width, ultrashort lasers provide unique possibilities to shape
light beams and control their properties, in particular through the use of spatio-temporal …

The temporal characterization of ultrafast laser pulses has become a cornerstone capability
of ultrafast optics laboratories and is routine both for optimizing laser pulse duration and …

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 …

We report the experimental formation of optical spatiotemporal solitons. Intense
femtosecond-duration pulses experience a saturable self-focusing nonlinearity due to the …

A noncollinear optical parametric amplifier is presented that generates transform-limited sub-
10-fs pulses that are tunable in both the visible and the near infrared (NIR).? The pulse-front …

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 …

Introducing angular dispersion into a pulsed field tilts the pulse front with respect to the
phase front. There exists between the angular dispersion and pulse-front tilt a universal …

Tunable UV pulses shorter than 10 fs are generated by achromatic frequency doubling of a
noncollinear optical parametric amplifier. With a suitable two-prism sequence we achieve …
