We review the most recent progress in ultralow-noise mode-locked fiber lasers and fiber-
based frequency-comb sources. With the rapid progress in theory, measurement, and …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

We report an optically synchronized picosecond pump laser for optical parametric amplifiers
based on an Yb: YAG thin-disk amplifier. At 3 kHz repetition rate, pulse energies of 25 mJ …

We demonstrate an optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier producing infrared 20 fs (3-
optical-cycle) pulses with a stable carrier-envelope phase. The amplifier is seeded with self …

Ultimate control over light entails the capability of crafting its field waveform. Here, we detail
the technological advances that have recently permitted the synthesis of light transients …

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 …

We demonstrate the amplification of broadband pulses from a Ti: Sapphire oscillator by non-
collinear optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification technique in a type-I BBO crystal to …

Propagation equations for optical pulses are needed to assist in describing applications in
ever more extreme situations—including those in metamaterials with linear and nonlinear …

We present an octave-spanning Ti: sapphire oscillator supporting Fourier-limited pulses as
short as 3.7 fs. This laser system can be directly CEO-phase stabilized delivering an …

We demonstrate carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization of a mode-locked Ti: sapphire
oscillator with unprecedented timing jitter of eight attoseconds. The stabilization …
