Opis produktu
This book covers the physics technology and applications of short pulse laser sources that generate pulses with durations of only a few optical cycles. The basic design considerations for the different systems such as lasers parametric amplifiers and external compression techniques which have emerged over the last decade are discussed to give researchers and graduate students a thorough introduction to this field. The existence of these sources has opened many new fields of research that were not possible before. These are UV and EUV generation from tabletop systems using highharmonic generation frequency metrology enabling optical frequency counting highresolution optical coherence tomography strongfield ultrafast solidstate processes and ultrafast spectroscopy to mention only a few. Many new applications will follow. The book attempts to give a comprehensive while not excessive introduction to this exciting new field that serves both experienced researchers and graduate students entering the field. /The first half of the book covers the current physical principles processes and design guidelines to generate pulses in the optical range comprising only a few cycles of light. Such as the generation of relatively low energy pulses at high repetition rates directly from the laser parametric generation of medium energy pulses and highenergy pulses at low repetition rates using external compression in hollow fibers. The applications cover the revolution in frequency metrology and highresolution laser spectroscopy to electric field synthesis in the optical range as well as the emerging field of highharmonic generation and attosecond science highresolution optical imaging and novel ultrafast dynamics in semiconductors. These fields benefit from the strong electric fields accompanying these pulses in solids and gases during events comprising only a few cycles ofThis book covers the physics technology and applications of short pulse laser sources that generate pulses with durations of only a few optical cycles.
