A review on the recent development of intense laser‐driven terahertz (THz) sources is
provided here. The technologies discussed include various types of sources based on …

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 …

The use of ultra-high intensity laser beams to achieve extreme material states in the
laboratory has become almost routine with the development of the petawatt laser. Petawatt …

This paper presents a tutorial on the field of femtosecond pulse shaping, a technology that
enables generation of nearly arbitrary, user defined, ultrafast optical waveforms, with control …

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 …

We review the field of femtosecond pulse shaping, in which Fourier synthesis methods are
used to generate nearly arbitrarily shaped ultrafast optical wave forms according to user …

Ultrashort Laser Pulse Phenomena, Second Edition serves as an introduction to the
phenomena of ultra short laser pulses and describes how this technology can be used to …

A comprehensive treatment of ultrafast optics This book fills the need for a thorough and
detailed account of ultrafast optics. Written by one of the most preeminent researchers in the …

Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) exploit second-order nonlinearity to transfer energy
from a fixed frequency pump pulse to a variable frequency signal pulse, and represent an …

The mechanisms of ultrashort-pulse laser ablation of materials are discussed, and the
differences to that of long laser pulses are emphasized. Ultrashort laser pulses offer both …
