New methods have recently been developed to measure the carrier-envelope phase
evolution of ultrashort optical pulses. These methods utilize a powerful combination of time …

Over the past four years, there has been a surge of activity in the supercontinuum field since
the introduction of various types of microstructure fibers. The main reason for this great …

Numerical simulations have been used in studies of the temporal and spectral features of
supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal and tapered optical fibers. In particular, an …

This graduate-level textbook starts with Maxwell's equations. If the reader finds this
reasonable, this book should be helpful. Focusing on ultrafast solid-state laser oscillators …

The ability to measure real-time fluctuations of ultrashort pulses propagating in optical fiber
has provided significant insights into fundamental dynamical effects such as modulation …

The merging of continuous wave laser-based precision optical-frequency metrology with
mode-locked ultrafast lasers has led to precision control of the visible and near-infrared …

The fiber laser, with its humble beginning in the late 1980s, has undergone tremendous
development in the past decade or so, transforming itself from a research curiosity to a major …

Intense ultrashort waveforms of light that can be produced with an exactly predetermined
electromagnetic field are essential in a number of applications of extreme nonlinear optics …

The comparison of optical atomic clocks with frequency instabilities reaching 1 part in 10^ 16
at 1 s will enable more stringent tests of fundamental physics. These comparisons, mediated …

We demonstrate that multiphoton-induced photoelectron emission from a gold surface
caused by low-energy (unamplified) 4-fs, 750-nm laser pulses is sensitive to the timing of …
