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

The last part of the twentieth century has experienced a huge resurge of activity in the field of
coherent light–matter interaction, more so in attempting to exert control over such …

Femtosecond phase-coherent two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy has been experimentally
demonstrated as the direct optical analog of 2D nuclear magnetic resonance. An acousto …

The last two decades have seen a wealth of optical instrumentation based upon the
concepts of space-time duality. A historical overview of how this beautiful framework has …

This paper examines the parallels between magnetic resonance and optical spectroscopy,
with the goal of determining to what extent the benefits of 2DNMR might be extended into …

Two different definitions of phase shifts and time delays are contrasted and shown to match
different experimental methods of generating delayed pulses. Phase shifts and time delays …

Two dimensional magnetic and optical spectra contain information about structure and
dynamics inaccessible to the linear spectroscopist. Recently, phase cycling techniques in …

We propose and demonstrate a method of real-time dispersion compensation suitable for
scanning interferometry and optical coherence tomography. Static grating tilt in a scanning …

The reflective frequency-domain optical delay line employing a diffraction grating, a lens,
and a tiltable mirror has emerged as a device particularly suitable for interferometry and …

For studying any event, measurement can never be enough;“control” is required. This
means mere passive tracking of the event is insufficient and being able to manipulate it is …
