The Exawatt Laser: From Relativistic to Ultra Relativistic Optics
TL;DR: The European Extreme Light Infrastructure project (ELI) as discussed by the authors is dedicated to the fundamental study of laser-matter interaction in a new and unsurpassed regime of laser intensity: the ultra-relativistic regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel method for ultrahigh-frequency electro-optic time-domain reflectometry
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach to time-domain reflectometry using picosecond electro-optic sampling and counter-propagating electrical pulses on a coplanar transmission line is proposed.
Proceedings Article
Laser micromachining with ultrafast pulses
TL;DR: In this paper, the precision of the threshold of laser-induced breakdown (LIB) increases dramatically as the pulse width of the laser decreases to picosecond and sub-picosecond regime, and the energy fluence needed to initiate breakdown is much less then the nanosecond pulse regime.
