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 …

A new regime of precision radial-velocity measurements in the search for Earth-like
exoplanets is being facilitated by high-resolution spectrographs calibrated by laser …

Terahertz light can be used to identify numerous complex molecules, but has traditionally
remained unexploited due to the lack of powerful broadband sources. Pulsed lasers can be …

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 …

This continuation and extension of the successful book" Localized Waves" by the same
editors brings together leading researchers in non-diffractive waves to cover the most …

A balanced cross correlator, the optical equivalent of a balanced microwave phase detector,
is demonstrated. Its use in synchronizing an octave-spanning Ti: sapphire laser and a 30-fs …

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 …

The synthesis of optical frequencies from the primary cesium microwave standard has
traditionally been a difficult problem due to the large disparity in frequency. Recently this …

The rapid development of the optical-cycle-level ultra-fast laser technologies may break
through the bottleneck of the traditional ultra-intense laser [ie, Petawatt (PW, 1015 W) laser …

We demonstrate numerically and experimentally a chirped mirror with controlled reflectivity
and dispersion of up to 1.5 octaves. A complementary pair of such mirrors has a reflectivity of …
