Characteristics of an actively mode-locked 2-psec Ti:sapphire laser operating in the 1-μm wavelength regime
TL;DR: The performance of an actively mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser operating in the 1-microm wavelength regime with the use of external dispersion compensation is examined.
Journal Article
Ultrashort laser pulses tackle precision machining
X. Liu,Gerard Mourou +1 more
TL;DR: The nature of ultrashort pulse interaction with matter permits ultrafast lasers to beat the diffraction limit-cutting and drilling materials with feature sizes smaller than the wavelength of light as mentioned in this paper, which is the basis for our work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-Resolved, Laser-Induced Phase Transformation in Aluminum
TL;DR: In this article, the long range order of the lattice subsists for lattice temperatures well above the equilibrium point, indicative of superheating, and two interpretations of the delayed melting are offered, based on the conventional nucleation and point defect theories.

Methods and apparatus for generating microwave pulses and for the measurement and control thereof
TL;DR: In this article, microwave pulses are generated using a laser activated semiconductor switch, and high voltages are switched with picosecond rise time and result in the establishment of microwave pulses of frequency spectrum commensurate with the rise time of the voltage and wave guide parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase-matched enhancements of high-harmonic soft X-rays by adaptive wave-front control with a genetic algorithm
D. Yoshitomi,John Nees,N. Miyamoto,Taro Sekikawa,Teruto Kanai,Gerard Mourou,Shuntaro Watanabe +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the enhancement of high-harmonic soft-X-ray generation by adaptive wavefront control of a 745-nm Ti:sapphire laser by use of a 59-channel membrane deformable mirror, combined with a genetic algorithm, was demonstrated.
