Spectral interferometric measurements are presented that show how wave propagation
affects the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of an ultrashort pulse in the focal region and …

At present, X-rays imaging is widely applied in solid-state physics, in the life sciences, in
medical applications and in other disciplines. An X-ray source based on laser-electron …

An optical setup comprising an external Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavity that maintains ultrashort
pulse spatial and temporal coherence, is proposed to generate continuous sub-terahertz …

The fundamental principles of Gaussian beam transformation discussed in the preceding
section can be used to analyse fundamental properties of laser resonators, such as the …

Light is an essential element for life, and not just by reason of being the primary energy
source of Earth's flora, and through plants and unicellular organisms of its whole fauna, but …

A dual trace intra-pulse and inter-pulse spatio-spectral interferometer has been set up to
study the temporal stability of a∼ 200 fs duration laser pulse train from a cw mode-locked …

The rise of solid-state lasers paved the way for the generation of femtosecond (1 fs= 10-15 s)
pulses with unprecedented peak intensities. Ti: Sapphire (Ti: Sa), which was first …
