Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) is a popular technique that can track
ultrafast coherent and incoherent processes in real time. Since its development in the late …

Ultrafast spectroscopy techniques use sequences of ultrashort light pulses (with femto-to
attosecond durations) to study photoinduced dynamical processes in atoms, molecules …

Advances in attosecond science have led to a wealth of important discoveries in atomic,
molecular, and solid-state physics and are progressively directing their footsteps toward …

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 …

Femtosecond laser micromachining has emerged in recent years as a new technique for
micro/nano structure fabrication because of its applicability to virtually all kinds of materials …

The generation of extremely short isolated attosecond pulses requires both a broad spectral
bandwidth and control of the spectral phase. Rapid progress has been made in both …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye
lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced …

This paper has been prepared by the Symphony collaboration (University of Warsaw,
Uniwersytet Jagielloński, DESY/CNR and ICFO) on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of …

This paper introduces and discusses the main aspects of ultrashort laser pulse filamentation
in various transparent media such as air (gases), transparent solids and liquids. The …
