Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) describes a family of techniques first discovered and
developed in the 1960s. Whereas the nascent history of the technique is parallel to that of …

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 …

Advances in optical spectroscopy and microscopy have had a profound impact throughout
the physical, chemical and biological sciences. One example is coherent Raman …

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 …

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 …

The field of ultrafast spectroscopy of semiconductors and their nanostruc tures continues to
be an active field of research. Exciting new developments have taken place since the first …

We present an overview of experimental work and discuss the theory of femtosecond-pulse
generation of coherent optical phonons. Recent developments and differences between …

The development of femtosecond lasers brought entirely new possibilities into the practive of
time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy (TRVS). For the first time, it became possible to …

Although supercontinuum sources are readily available for the visible and near infrared (IR),
and recently also for the mid-IR, many areas of biology, chemistry, and physics would benefit …

An experimental study was undertaken to measure the optical Kerr effect (OKE) in liquids
induced by picosecond laser pulses. The effects of different parameters on the dynamics of …
