Dispersive wave emission (DWE) in gas-filled hollow-core dielectric waveguides is a
promising source of tuneable coherent and broadband radiation, but so far the generation of …

In this thesis I describe the development, implementation and characterisation of a source of
wavelength-tunable few-femtosecond laser pulses in the deep ultraviolet spectral region for …

Single-beam coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (SB-CARS is a compact approach to
CARS which employs a single broadband laser source to probe molecular vibrations. A …
