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 …

A topical review of numerical and experimental studies of supercontinuum generation in
photonic crystal fiber is presented over the full range of experimentally reported parameters …

The use of infrared lasers to power optical-scale lithographically fabricated particle
accelerators is a developing area of research that has garnered increasing interest in recent …

In the first quarter of the twentieth century, one of the most significant events in physics and
chemistry was the establishment of the quantum theories of radiation, matter, and their …

This anthology, which is adapted from the Nobel Lecture, gives an overview of the field of
Femtochemistry from a personal perspective, encompassing our research at Caltech and …

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

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 …

In the introduction to this section, the role of Lee R. Wilcox was mentioned as the one who
called our attention to Franken's paper, of which he had received a preprint before its …

We have fabricated nanometer-scale gold dipole antennas designed to be resonant at
optical frequencies. On resonance, strong field enhancement in the antenna feed gap leads …
