Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of thin film compression for short-pulse X-ray generation
Deano Farinella,Matthew Stanfield,Nicholas Beier,Tam Nguyen,Sahel Hakimi,Toshiki Tajima,Franklin Dollar,J. Wheeler,Gerard Mourou +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, thin film compression to the single-cycle regime combined with relativistic compression offers a method to transform conventional ultrafast laser pulses into attosecond X-ray laser pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI
An application of picosecond electro-optic sampling to superconducting electronics
TL;DR: In this article, a picosecond electro-optic sampling technique has been used to measure the switching threshold of a single tunnel junction in a coplanar transmission line geometry.
Patent
Dye laser medium for subpicosecond laser pulse generation
Gerard Mourou,Sizer Ii Theodore +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a synchronously pumped dye laser using a mixture of laser dye and a fast recovery saturable absorber was used to obtain subpicosecond pulses less than 70 femtoseconds in duration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compression of high-power laser pulses using only multiple ultrathin plane plates
TL;DR: In this article, a proposal for additional temporal compression and peak power enhancement of intense (>TW/cm2) femtosecond laser pulses using two thin plane-parallel plates is presented.
