Research on isolated attosecond pulses (IAPs) based on high-order harmonic generation
changed substantially around 2010. Before then, the Ti: sapphire laser was the de facto …

Contemporary ultrafast science requires reliable sources of high-energy few-cycle light
pulses. Currently two methods are capable of generating such pulses: post compression of …

Ultrafast lasers reaching extremely high powers within short fractions of time enable a
plethora of applications. They grant advanced material processing capabilities, are effective …

The petawatt (PW) laser has experienced a rapid development in the past two decades, and
tens of giant facilities have been constructed worldwide. After realizing 10–100 PW, it seems …

A multipass cell for nonlinear compression to few-cycle pulse duration is introduced
composing dielectrically enhanced silver mirrors on silicon substrates. Spectral broadening …

Multidimensional solitary states (MDSS)—self-sustained wavepackets—have attracted
renewed interest in many different fields of physics. They are of particular importance in …

The pulse duration at the output of femtosecond lasers is usually close to the Fourier limit,
and can be shortened by increasing the spectral width. To this end, use is made of self …

We demonstrate the reliable generation of 1-mJ, 31-fs pulses with an average power of 1 kW
by post-compression of 200-fs pulses from a coherently combined Yb: fiber laser system in …

In this Letter, we investigate the energy-scaling rules of hollow-core fiber (HCF)-based
nonlinear pulse propagation and compression merged with high-energy Yb-laser …

Generating intense ultrashort pulses with high-quality spatial modes is crucial for ultrafast
and strong-field science and can be achieved by nonlinear supercontinuum generation …
