Chemical and physical systems undergoing change display spectral signatures from the
radio frequency to the X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This has led to the …

▪ Abstract There has been much progress in the control of chemical reactions since methods
of active control were first proposed by Brumer & Shapiro and by Tannor & Rice ten years …

Principles of Terahertz Science and Technology aims to elucidate the fundamentals of THz
technology and science for potential new users. It surveys major techniques of generating …

The ability to control the shape and motion of quantum states, may lead to methods for bond-
selective chemistry and novel quantum technologies, such as quantum computing. The …

Over the past decade, breakthroughs in the generation and control of ultrafast high-field
terahertz (THz) radiation have led to new spectroscopic methodologies for the study of light …

We study the optical response of a resonant medium possessing nonlinear coupling to an
external field driven by a few-cycle pump pulse sequence. We demonstrate the possibility of …

Recent advances in the generation of sub-fs extreme ultraviolet pulses and attosecond
metrology have opened up the possibility to trace the time evolution of electronic wave …

We propose a strikingly simple method to form approximately unipolar half-cycle optical
pulses via reflection of a single-cycle optical pulse from a thin flat metallic or dielectric layer …

Terahertz (THz) radiation occupies part of the electromagnetic spectrum between the
infrared and microwave bands. Until recently, technology at THz frequencies was under …

We have completely determined the amplitude and phase of a quantum wave packet. The
wave packet was shaped using a programmable optical pulse. Phase information comes …
