Recently there has been a remarkable synergy between the technologies of precision laser
stabilization and mode-locked ultrafast lasers. This has resulted in control of the frequency …

The generation of ultrashort pulses is a key to exploring the dynamic behaviour of matter on
ever-shorter timescales. Recent developments have pushed the duration of laser pulses …

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 …

Single soft-x-ray pulses of∼ 90–electron volt (eV) photon energy are produced by high-
order harmonic generation with 7-femtosecond (fs), 770-nanometer (1.6 eV) laser pulses …

Experiments on the sub-femtosecond time scale performed in recent years and their
theoretical background are reviewed in this article. We present the essentials of the …

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 …

Carrier-envelope phase stabilization, has opened an avenue towards achieving frequency
metrology with unprecedented precision, and optical pulse generation on the previously …

We demonstrated single-shot measurements of spectral interference between a white-light
continuum generated in a hollow-fiber and its second harmonic. The interference has …

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 …

We demonstrate quantum interference control of injected photocurrents in a semiconductor
using the phase stabilized pulse train from a mode-locked Ti: sapphire laser. Measurement …
