When solids are exposed to intense laser fields whose forces are comparable to the binding
forces of valence electrons in crystals, nonlinear optics of solids advances to the …

Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye
lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced …

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 …

The availability of high-energy pulses with durations shorter than the period of their carrier
frequency (sub-cycle) will reveal new regimes of strong-field light–matter interactions …

We demonstrate how a scheme called advanced dual-chirped optical parametric
amplification (DC-OPA) that employs two kinds of nonlinear crystal (BiB3O6 and MgO-doped …

Optical parametric amplification (OPA) represents a powerful solution to achieve broadband
amplification in wavelength ranges beyond the scope of conventional gain media, for …

The generation of power-and wavelength-scalable few optical cycle pulses remains one of
the major challenges in modern laser physics. Over the past decade, the development of …

The observation and manipulation of electron dynamics in matter call for attosecond light
pulses, routinely available from high-order harmonic generation driven by few-femtosecond …

We show that rhombohedral four-layer graphene (4LG) nearly aligned with a hexagonal
boron nitride (hBN) substrate often develops nearly flat isolated low-energy bands with …

Sources of short wavelength radiation with femtosecond to attosecond pulse durations, such
as synchrotrons or free electron lasers, have already made possible numerous, and will …
