Journal ArticleDOI
Charge-transfer-state photoluminescence in asymmetric coupled quantum wells
TL;DR: A strong, linear Stark shift of the CT luminescence is observed in the buildup of a charge-transfer state in which the electrons and holes are in separate wells because of the fact that they tunnel in opposite directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chirped pulse amplification in an erbium-doped fiber oscillator/erbium-doped fiber amplifier system
M. L. Stock,Gerard Mourou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser source provides the seed pulses for a femtosecond (F2F) amplifier with a repetition rate of 33 MHz with an energy content as high as 1.4 nJ.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Using frequency domain holography, single shot visualization of individual plasma waves, produced by 40TW, 30fs laser pulses focused to the intensity of 1019W∕cm2 onto a supersonic He gas jet with plasma densities ne<1019cm−3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulse Dispersion and Shaping in Microstrip Lines
TL;DR: In this article, a method for determining the modal dispersion of gigahertz-bandwidth pulses on microstrip transmission lines is described, with very good agreement noted between experimental pulse shapes and numerical simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active pulse shaping in the picosecond domain
TL;DR: In this article, a fast Pockels cell controlled by an optically driven GaAs electrical switch is used to slice the center of a long optical pulse, yielding a 70psec FWHM pulse with 40psec rise and fall times.
