Acousto-optic (AO) modulation technology holds significant promise for applications in
microwave and optical signal processing. Thin-film scandium-doped aluminum nitride …

We present two noninvasive characterization methods to investigate laser induced
modifications in bulk fused silica glasses. The methods discussed are immersion …

A remarkable large-amplitude density modulation has been observed in ozone-mixed
oxygen gas at atmospheric density and temperature conditions following irradiation with a …

Acousto-optics consists of launching acoustic waves in a medium (usually a crystal) in order
to modulate its refractive index and create a tunable optical grating. In this article, we present …

Laser interferometers are able to measure relative optical length changes and to analyze
material properties, surface structures, and density fluctuations of fluids and gases. As these …

We employ intense ultrasound fields in ambient air, enabling light control in extreme
parameter ranges. We acousto-optically modulate 1030 nm ultrashort pulses with 20 GW …

Control over the parameters of a laser beam such as intensity and phase provides an
important basis of modern photonics. Established control schemes, however, cover only a …

Mithilfe hochintensiver Ultraschallwellen, die sich in gasförmigen Medien ausbreiten, ist es
gelungen, ultrakurze Laserpulse mit einer bisher unerreichten Spitzenleistung von zwanzig …
