A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, DOI 10.29026/oea.2023.220046 discusses table-top optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers. The invention of Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) ...

Ultrafast laser pulses, typically defined by durations in the femtosecond to picosecond range, have revolutionised both fundamental science and applied technology. Their generation and amplification ...

Coherently tiled titanium:sapphire laser amplification provides a relatively easy and inexpensive way to surpass the current 10-petawatt limit. “By adding a 2×2 coherently tiled titanium:sapphire high ...

Since the earliest demonstration of chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) and optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA), femtosecond lasers have been able to deliver ultrahigh peak powers up ...

Extremely short pulses of laser light with a peak power of 6 terawatts (6 trillion watts)—roughly equivalent to the power produced by 6,000 nuclear power plants—have been realized by two RIKEN ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

As part of our recently enlarged program for ultrafast laser applications, LASEROPTIK offers chirped mirrors, matched pairs and dispersive coatings. In addition, the use of high quality substrates ...

In the same way that a camera flash can ‘freeze’ rapidly moving objects, making them appear as if they are standing still in photos, extremely short laser pulses can help light up ultrafast processes, ...
