A Qualitative Introduction to Extreme Light Infrastructure
Gerard Mourou,Natalia M. Naumova +1 more
TL;DR: The ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) project as mentioned in this paper aims to time-resolve the structure of matter from solid to vacuum, based on fundamentally new approaches, with the goal of time-resolution.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Demonstration of spatial coherence with a compact and ultrafast X-ray source
Davide Boschetto,Aghapi Mordovanakis,John Nees,Bixue Hou,Divine Kumah,Roy Clarke,Gerard Mourou,Antoine Rousse +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Fresnel diffraction from knife-edges to demonstrate spatial coherence of tabletop and ultrafast X-ray sources produced by laser-plasma interaction, and show that source size is limited by the spatial spread of absorbed laser energy.
Journal Article
Femtosecond laser: incident energy thresholds and corneal hydration
D. Donate,Olivier Albert,J.-P. Colliac,P. Tubelis,P. Sabatier,Gerard Mourou,Carole Burillon,Y. Pouliquen,Jean-Marc Legeais +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined incident energy thresholds to obtain plasma in function of different corneal depths and hydrations in femtosecond laser use for penetrating and lamellar keratoplasty.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Electro-Optic Sampling: Device Embodiments And Possibilities
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that it is possible to generate optical pulses of less than 10 fs duration corresponding to only a few optical cycles, which can be used to characterize electrical waveforms with a few hundred femtosecond resolution.
