Book excerpt: This Spotlight discusses the generation of ultrashort pulses in three spectral regions: visible, deep-ultraviolet, and terahertz ranges. We explore a method to control the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) dynamics based on all-optical phase stabilization. The concepts presented here can be used to generate high-intensity, low-cycle laser optical fields with an exactly locked CEP. Such pulses are indispensable to the study of coherent x-ray and attosecond physics.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years ago, Stanley L. Shapiro edited the book entitled Ultrashort Light Pulses (Topics Appl. Phys., Vol. 18), which was written by eight experts in the field. Six years later, Charles V. Shank added a bibliography (1980-1983) in the second edition with approximately one thousand new references. During the past decade the field has grown so rapidly that a completely new book had to be written. In particular, the reduction of the time scale of light pulses into the femtosecond range has opened up new experimental possibilities never even foreseen in the preceding literature. The vast literature with countless ideas and applications makes it impossible for a single person to write a comprehensive review. Nine scientists, actively working in the field since its beginning, have decided to join forces to prepare a new book describing the present state of the art. Emphasis is placed on the generation and numerous applications of ultrashort laser pulses. This book covers a wide area of science: physics, engineering, chemistry, and biology. The various chapters and sections are prepared in each case such that the reader is given a brief introduction to the specific subject. Ample references for a more detailed study are given at the end of each chapter.

Download or read book Ultrashort Light Pulses written by S.L. Shapiro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon after the invention of the laser, a brand-new area of endeavour emerged after the discovery that powerful ultrashort (picosecond) light pulses could be extracted from some lasers. Chemists, physicists, and engineers quickly recognized that such pulses would allow direct temporal studies of extremely rapid phenomena requiring, however, development of revolutionary ultrafast optical and electronic devices. For basic research the development of picosecond pulses was highly important because experimentalists were now able to measure directly the motions of atoms and molecules in liquids and solids: by disrupting a material from equilibrium with an intense picosecond pulse and then recording the time of return to the equilibrium state by picosecond techniques. Studies of picosecond laser pulses-their generation and diagnostic tech niques-are still undergoing a fairly rapid expansion, but a critical review of the state of the art by experienced workers in the field may be a timely help to new experimentalists. We shall review the sophisticated tools developed in the last ten years, including the modelocked picosecond-pulse-emitting lasers, the picosecond detection techniques, and picosecond devices. Moreover, we shall outline the basic foundations for the study of rapid events in chemistry and physics, which have emerged after many interesting experiments and which are now being applied in biology. An in-depth coverage of various aspects of the picosecond field should be helpful to scientists and engineers alike.

Download or read book Effects on Ocular Tissue of Multiple Laser Pulses and of Single Ultrashort Pulses of Varying Wavelength written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to evaluate laser safety standards, Dr. Toth examined fluorescein angiograms (in some cases OCT) and fixed tissue sections and aided in defining exposure limits for pulse widths less than one nanosecond. In our initial short pulse study, we were concerned with the restriction to a single wavelength. To verify that the tissue effects were due to the pulse structure, we obtained data outside a single wavelength. We obtained from information from -530-nm and -1060nm wavelengths to compare to data obtained from previous studies of visible laser picosecond and femtosecond pulses. The type of lesions created with 530 and 1060-1064nm wavelengths were similar to the lesions created in the earlier 580-nm wavelength studies. This supported the theory that laser induced breakdown is one of the primary damage mechanisms for ultrashort laser pulses. Data from our studies was used by the American National Standard Institute in publications ANSI Z136.1, 'Safe Use of Lasers' (updated 2000) and ANSI Z136.3, 'Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care Facilities' (1996).
