16-fs, 1-microJ ultraviolet pulses generated by third-harmonic conversion in air.
Sterling Backus,Justin Peatross,Z. Zeek,A. Rundquist,G. Taft,Margaret M. Murnane,Henry C. Kapteyn +6 more
TL;DR: A simple method for generating sub-20-fs ultraviolet light pulses with useful average powers, using a kilohertz Ti:sapphire laser system, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of 10-fs laser pulses
G. Taft,A. Rundquist,Margaret M. Murnane,Ivan P. Christov,Henry C. Kapteyn,Kenneth W. DeLong,David N. Fittinghoff,Marco A. Krumbügel,John N. Sweetser,Rick Trebino +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the intensity and phase of /spl sim/10-fs optical pulses using second-harmonic-generation frequency-resolved-optical-gating (SHG FROG) were characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafast laser and amplifier sources
A. Rundquist,Charles G. Durfee,Zenghu Chang,G. Taft,E. Zeek,Sterling Backus,Margaret M. Murnane,Henry C. Kapteyn,Ivan P. Christov,Vency D. Stoev +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the development and design of ultrafast high-power laser based on Ti:sapphire, including the ultrafast laser oscillators that are a very important enabling technology for high power ultrafast systems, and ultrafast amplified laser systems that generate 20 fs duration pulses with several watts average power at kilohertz repetition rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular engineering of polymer films for amplitude and phase measurements of ti:sapphire femtosecond pulses
Diego R. Yankelevich,P. Pretre,Andre Knoesen,G. Taft,Margaret M. Murnane,Henry C. Kapteyn,Robert J. Twieg +6 more
TL;DR: Using second-harmonic frequency-resolved optical gating and a tricyanovinylaniline polymer thin film, the amplitude and the phase of mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser pulses as short as 13 fs are measured.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Kerr-Lens Modelocked Ti:Sapphire Laser Oscillator Directly Pumped with Blue Diodes
Charles G. Durfee,Tristan Storz,Jonathan Garlick,Steven Hill,Jeff Squier,Matthew S. Kirchner,G. Taft,Kevin Shea,Henry C. Kapteyn,Margaret M. Murnane,S. Backus +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Ti:sapphire laser with 445nm laser diodes was described, with 70 mW average power at 800 nm and bandwidth for <13 fs pulses.
