Ultrafast Studies

ULTRA FAST LASERS: Extreme Light Lab installs near-petawatt system
Laser science at the 100-terawatt (1014 W) peak-power level has entered the commercial realm.
Laser Focus World, February 01, 2007
SUPERCONTINUUM SOURCES: Compact femtosecond laser emits white light
Supercontinuum or white-light laser sources-suitable for applications in spectroscopy and microscopy-usually consist of a pump laser and a microstructured fiber (either a photonic-crystal fiber or a tapered fiber).
Laser Focus World, January 01, 2007
TERAHERTZ SPECTROMETRY: Time-domain spectrometers expand toward new horizons
A conventional terahertz time-domain spectrometer uses ultrafast laser sources ranging anywhere between compact fiber lasers to full-size amplified systems, and with average powers ranging from a few milliwatts to more than 3 W.

ULTRAFAST OPTICS: Simple pulse compressor compensates for misalignment
It is not easy to maintain an ultrafast laser pulse in its pristine state. The group-delay dispersion (GDD) induced by almost all transmissive optics spreads ultrafast pulses out in time, sometimes enormously.

Frequency Combs: Phase-stabilized ultrafast lasers signal new era in measurement and research
The 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics highlights the combination of optical frequency combs and precision spectroscopy for tests of basic physics.
Laser Focus World, May 01, 2006
ULTRAFAST LASERS: Fibers adapt modelocked lasers for turnkey operation
Of all lasers, femtosecond lasers are probably the most versatile, but their application is nevertheless still largely confined to physics and chemistry departments in academia.

PHOTONIC FRONTIERS: ATTOSECOND PHYSICS - Attosecond pulses open new window on atomic physics
Laser pulses are limited to femtoseconds, but femtosecond pulses can generate attosecond pulses in the extreme-UV, opening the door to a new time scale in physics.
