Extremely narrow optical resonances in cold atoms or single trapped ions can be measured
with high resolution. A laser locked to such a narrow optical resonance could serve as a …

Ultrafast lasers, which generate optical pulses in the picosecond and femtosecond range,
have progressed over the past decade from complicated and specialized laboratory systems …

In the past decade we have witnessed remarkable advances associated with the frequency
stabilization of the comb present in the output of a mode-locked femtosecond laser. While …

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 …

In the past years there was a huge interest in experimental and theoretical studies in the
area of few-optical-cycle pulses and in the broader fast growing field of the so-called …

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 …

Half a century has passed since Theodore Maiman's small ruby rod crossed the threshold of
laser emission. The breakthrough demonstration earned headlines, but in the early years …

Chlorine disinfection has been instrumental in the provision of safe drinking water, but the
use of chlorine has a dark side: In addition to inactivating water-borne pathogens, chlorine …

We present a semiconductor injection laser operating in continuous wave with emission
covering more than one octave in frequency and displaying homogeneous power …

The preparation, staining, visualization and interpretation of histological images of tissue is
well accepted as the gold standard process for the diagnosis of disease. These methods …
