A new light source generates ultrashort infrared pulses at wavelengths around 12 µm with previously unattained peak intensity and stability. First experiments in vibrational spectroscopy on water ...

A time-dependent electric current emits an electromagnetic wave, a basic physical effect exploited in telecom antennas. Transferring this mechanism to the ultrashort length and time scales of the ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a “pioneering” method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense laser pulses in a single measurement. The breakthrough, a collaboration ...

The findings showed no significant differences between the treatment and benzoyl peroxide, and they suggest that intense pulse light is both effective and well tolerated among patients. A pair of ...

High harmonics: a NIR pulse (red) is focussed, and high harmonics are generated in a gas jet that is placed before or behind the NIR focus. The generated XUV light (violet) has a size and divergence ...

Characterization of the OPCPA pulse performance at 11.4 µm. Long-term pulse stability measurement. The average power is 65 mW, the standard deviation ϭ_RMS=1.9%. Left inset: Far-field intensity ...
