A compact synchrotron radiation source driven by a laser-plasma wakefield accelerator

TL;DR: In this paper, the first successful combination of a laser-plasma wakefield accelerator with an undulator to generate visible synchrotron radiation was demonstrated, and the authors showed the potential for ultracompact and versatile laser-based radiation sources from the infrared to X-ray energies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coherent octave spanning near-infrared and visible supercontinuum generation in all-normal dispersion photonic crystal fibers.

TL;DR: The first detailed demonstrations of octave-spanning SC generation in all-normal dispersion photonic crystal fibers (ANDi PCF) in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions are presented, presenting the broadest spectra generated in the normal dispersion regime of an optical fiber.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of the first decade of Polly NET : an emerging network of automated Raman-polarization lidars for continuous aerosol profiling

TL;DR: PollyNET as mentioned in this paper consists of portable, remote-controlled multiwavelength-polarization-Raman lidars (Polly) for automated and continuous 24/7 observations of clouds and aerosols.
Journal ArticleDOI

High quality sub-two cycle pulses from compression of supercontinuum generated in all-normal dispersion photonic crystal fiber

TL;DR: Numerical simulations in excellent agreement with the experimental results are used to discuss the scalability of the concept to the single-cycle regime employing active phase shaping, and it is shown that previously reported limits to few-cycle pulse generation from compression of SC spectra generated in conventional PCF possessing one or more zero dispersion wavelengths do not apply for ANDi PCF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrasting the impact of aerosols at northern and southern midlatitudes on heterogeneous ice formation

TL;DR: In this paper, the occurrence of heterogeneous ice formation (as a function of cloud top temperature) for very different aerosol conditions in the northern and southern hemisphere is investigated, and large differences in the heterogeneous freezing behavior in mostly layered clouds are found.
