This paper presents a tutorial on the field of femtosecond pulse shaping, a technology that
enables generation of nearly arbitrary, user defined, ultrafast optical waveforms, with control …

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 …

This textbook deals with fourier analysis applications in optics, and in particular with its
applications to diffraction, imaging, optical data processing, holography and optical …

A comprehensive treatment of ultrafast optics This book fills the need for a thorough and
detailed account of ultrafast optics. Written by one of the most preeminent researchers in the …

We review the field of femtosecond pulse shaping, in which Fourier synthesis methods are
used to generate nearly arbitrarily shaped ultrafast optical wave forms according to user …

Optical arbitrary waveform generation will allow waveforms to be synthesized at optical
frequencies but with the flexibility currently available at radiofrequencies. This technique is …

The introduction of control theory in quantum mechanics has created a rich, new
interdisciplinary scientific field, which is producing novel insight into important theoretical …

Tailored femtosecond laser pulses from a computer-controlled pulse shaper were used to
optimize the branching ratios of different organometallic photodissociation reaction …

Molecular aggregates are abundant in nature; they form spontaneously in concentrated
solutions and on surfaces and can be synthesized by supramolecular chemistry techniques …

The control of quantum dynamics via specially tailored laser pulses is a long-standing goal
in physics and chemistry. Partly, this dream has come true, as sophisticated pulse-shaping …
