The generation of sub‐optical‐cycle, carrier–envelope phase‐stable light pulses is one of
the frontiers of ultrafast optics. The two key ingredients for sub‐cycle pulse generation are …

One of the most advanced frontiers of ultrafast optics is the control of carrier‐envelope phase
(CEP) ϕ of light pulses, which enables the generation of optical waveforms with …

This book's coverage builds from basic underlying theory to more complex ideas related to
attosecond optics. It shows how the generation of attosecond optical pulses requires …

We describe a possible new technique for precise wavelength calibration of high-resolution
astronomical spectrographs using femtosecond-pulsed mode-locked lasers controlled by …

We present an experimental and numerical study of electron emission from a sharp tungsten
tip triggered by sub-8-fs low-power laser pulses. This process is nonlinear in the laser …

We demonstrate a self-referenced, octave-spanning, mode-locked Ti: sapphire laser with a
scalable repetition rate (550 MHz-1.35 GHz). We use the frequency comb output of the laser …

The advent of chirped-pulse amplification in the 1980s and femtosecond Ti: sapphire lasers
in the 1990s enabled transformative advances in intense laser–matter interaction physics …

We demonstrate a significant simplification of the scheme for few-cycle Optical Parametric
Chirped Pulse Amplification (OPCPA) which results in the elimination of a picosecond??? s …

Besides serving as a frequency counter or clockwork, an optical frequency comb can be
used directly for spectroscopy, thus the name Direct Frequency Comb Spectroscopy (DFCS) …

We present an octave-spanning Ti: sapphire oscillator supporting Fourier-limited pulses as
short as 3.7 fs. This laser system can be directly CEO-phase stabilized delivering an …
