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

In the past decade, mid-infrared (MIR) few-cycle lasers have attracted remarkable research
efforts for their applications in strong-field physics, MIR spectroscopy, and bio-medical …

High-energy phase-stable sub-cycle mid-infrared pulses can provide unique opportunities to
explore phase-sensitive strong-field light–matter interactions in atoms, molecules and solids …

We study the optical response of a resonant medium possessing nonlinear coupling to an
external field driven by a few-cycle pump pulse sequence. We demonstrate the possibility of …

Single-cycle optical pulses with controllable carrier-envelope phase (CEP) form the basis to
manipulate the nonlinear polarization of matter on a sub-femtosecond time scale. Moreover …

Nonlinear propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses in bulk transparent media
produces a wealth of physical effects, whose combined action leads to a specific …

We report on an optical architecture delivering sub-120 femtosecond laser pulses of 20 µJ
tunable from 5.5 µm to 13 µm in the mid-infrared range (mid-IR). The system is based on a …

A short-pulse, frequency-tunable idler-wave output of a two-stage optical parametric
amplifier is compressed in a gas-filled antiresonance-guiding hollow-core photonic-crystal …

We present spectral measurements that uncover the detailed dynamics of the
supercontinuum generation in fused silica, YAG, and LiF crystals when pumped with 100 fs …

We identify and experimentally demonstrate a physical scenario whereby high-peak-power
mid-infrared (mid-IR) pulses can be compressed as a part of their free-beam spatiotemporal …
