Journal ArticleDOI
Picosecond large‐signal switching characteristics of a pseudomorphic AlGaAs/InGaAs modulated doped field effect transistor
M. K. Jackson,Michael Y. Frankel,John F. Whitaker,Gerard Mourou,Daniele Hulin,Andre Antonetti,M. Van Hove,W. De Raedt,Paul Crozat,H. Hafdallah +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive study of the large-signal switching characteristics of an AlGaAs/InGaAs modulation-doped field effect transistor on a picosecond time scale.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Extreme Light Infrastructure Project ELI and Its Prototype APOLLON/ILE: “The Associated Laser Bottlenecks”
Jean Paul Chambaret,Patrick Georges,Gilles Chériaux,G. Rey,Catherine Blanc,Patrick Audebert,Denis Douillet,Jean Luc Paillard,Patrick Cavillac,Dominique Fournet,F. Mathieu,Gerard Mourou +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ELI project consisting in a 200PW laser based high intensity physics users infrastructure is presented. But the project is limited to a single beamline laser prototype called ILE/APOLLON.

Electron-optical wide band signal measurement system
TL;DR: In this paper, electron bursts are produced in response to a train of sub-picosecond optical pulses, and the bursts are deflected in accordance with the amplitude of the successive portions of the signal and translated into spots of light, as on a phosphor screen.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Temporal characterization of a self-modulated laser wakefield
S. P. Le Blanc,S. P. Le Blanc,Michael C. Downer,Michael C. Downer,R. Wagner,Shouyuan Chen,Anatoly Maksimchuk,Gerard Mourou,Donald P. Umstadter +8 more
TL;DR: The temporal envelope of plasma density oscillations in the wake of an intense laser pulse is measured using forward Thomson scattering from a copropagating, frequency doubled probe pulse to find the wakefield growth and decay rates are consistent with the forward Raman scattering instability and beam loading.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Femtosecond subsurface photodisruption in scattering human tissues using long infrared wavelengths
TL;DR: Complete subsurface incisions in human sclera are demonstrated by selecting a laser wavelength that is focusable beneath the surface, namely 1700 nm and similar techniques may be used in other translucent tissues such as skin.
