Book ChapterDOI
Electron-Lattice Heating from Avalanche Ionization in Silicon with Near Infrared Ultrafast Laser Pulses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the absorption and redistribution of ultrafast pulsed laser energy in silicon with 800 nm radiation for pulse durations ranging from 80 fs to 7 ns.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Generation of high power ultrashort pulses in erbium oscillator power amplifier systems
TL;DR: The use of ultrafast fiber oscillators as seeds for high-power amplifiers for femtosecond pulse sources has been studied in this paper, where it is shown that higher-order soliton formation greatly reduces the pulse quality and increases the pulse width.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Impact Of Ultrafast Optics In High-Speed Electronics
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that it is possible to generate optical pulses of less than 10 fs duration corresponding to only a few optical cycles, which can be used to characterize electrical waveforms with a few hundred femtosecond resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caractérisation du seuil de dommage dans les cristaux de saphir dopé au titane avec des impulsions de durée nanoseconde, picoseconde et femtoseconde
TL;DR: In this article, the verrou principal for le developpement des femtoseconde robustes and rentables est l'incertitude du seuil de dommages du cristal de Ti: Saphir.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Efficient second-harmonic generation of sub-100 fs pulses from high power Nd:glass laser
TL;DR: Using a KDP type II crystal with a predelay, the authors was able to generate high contrast laser pulses with a duration as short as 75 fs at /spl lambda/=0.53 /spl mu/m.
