TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic physics and quantum electrodynamics of the electrons have been studied in the context of compact laser-based supercomputers, which can now produce intensities so large that laser-matter interactions are dominated by the relatvistic character of electrons.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that Brillouin in the so-called strong-coupling regime (SBS) has several advantages and is very well suited to amplify and compress laser seed pulses on short distances to very high intensities.

TL;DR: An external, noncontact electrooptic measurement system, designed to operate at the wafer level with conventional wafer probing equipment and without any special circuit preparation, has been developed and its ability to probe continuous and pulsed signals on microwave integrated circuits on arbitrary substrates with excellent spatial resolution is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, an easy-scalable pulse recompression method based on spectral broadening due to self phase modulation in bulk medium is presented, which demonstrates a possibility of compression of high-energy pulses above 1J from 30 to 14 fs.

TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrafast traveling wave optical modulator capable of functioning at frequencies greater than 100 GHz having an optical waveguide parallel to a transmission line was proposed. But the response time of the modulator was not investigated.
