Amplification of 1-nsec pulses in Nd:glass followed by compression to 1 psec.

TL;DR: The grating-compression approach is used to extend the possibilities of chirped-pulse amplification and allows for high-peak-power pulse generation with small nanosecond-type amplifiers.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-harmonic generation from plasma mirrors at kilohertz repetition rate

TL;DR: The first demonstration of high-harmonic generation from plasma mirrors at a 1 kHz repetition rate is reported, unambiguously identifying coherent wake emission as the main generation mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal shape analysis of Nd3+: YAG active passive model-locked pulses

TL;DR: In this paper, the temporal shape of laser pulses generated from an active passive mode-locked Nd3+: YAG oscillator was measured over ten orders of magnitude by measuring the third order correlation function of the laser pulse.
