Contemporary ultrafast science requires reliable sources of high-energy few-cycle light
pulses. Currently two methods are capable of generating such pulses: post compression of …

The overall goal of photonics research is to understand and control light in new and richer
ways to facilitate new and richer applications. Many major developments to this end have …

Multidimensional solitary states (MDSS)—self-sustained wavepackets—have attracted
renewed interest in many different fields of physics. They are of particular importance in …

In this Letter, we investigate the energy-scaling rules of hollow-core fiber (HCF)-based
nonlinear pulse propagation and compression merged with high-energy Yb-laser …

Raman scattering has found renewed interest owing to the development of gas-filled hollow-
core fibers, which constitute a unique platform for exploration of novel ultrafast nonlinear …

Gas-filled hollow-core fibers have over the last three decades emerged as a key technology
for ultrafast nonlinear optics and strong-field physics. Today, noble gas-filled capillary and …

Few-cycle sources with high average powers are required for applications to attosecond
science. Raman-enhanced spectral broadening of Yb-doped laser amplifiers in molecular …

Optical frequency combs are typically generated in the near-infrared wavelength range,
where many mode-locked lasers operate. Nonlinear frequency conversion can then be used …

We demonstrate ultrashort pulse compression from 300 fs down to 17 fs at a repetition rate
of 20 kHz and 160-µJ output pulse energy (3.2 W of average power) using multidimensional …

We report a study of soliton self-frequency shifting in a hydrogen-filled hollow-core fiber. The
combination of hydrogen and short 40-fs input pulses underlies clean and efficient …
