Techniques
Scientific applications
Laser pumping and seeding
Sophisticated laser systems, such as OPCPA systems, typically consist of multiple parts, with the most essential being the front-end used for pumping and seeding.
Scientific applications
Carrier-envelope phase stabilization
Carrier-envelope phase determines the accuracy of high-energy and attosecond science experiments, and spectroscopy measurements, thus requires significant attention.
Scientific applications
Repetition rate locking
A synchronized laser system enables time-resolved experiments and can also be used as a synchronized switch for other physical variables, such as a magnetic field.
Scientific applications
Optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification
Optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification is the only currently available technology simultaneously providing high peak and average power and a few-cycle pulse duration.
