Optical processing of picosecond laser pulses
TLDR
In this paper, short laser pulses carry temporally and spatially coherent radiation which generally exhibits a broad spectrum of monochromatic plane waves and are suitable for experiments of temporally coherent optics: temporal diffraction, interference, filtering and frequency modulation, etc.Abstract:
Short laser pulses carry temporally and spatially coherent radiation which generally exhibits a broad spectrum of monochromatic plane waves. Pulses with narrow temporal frequency spectrum may be involved in operations of spatially coherent optics. On the contrary, pulses with narrow spatial frequency spectrum are suitable to experiments of temporally coherent optics: temporal diffraction, interference, filtering and frequency modulation, etc.read more

Holography of wave packets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the principles of holographic storage and reconstruction of ultrashort light pulses using spectrally nonselective media, which can be achieved by the application of a 3D recording medium and by the holography of waves produced by spatial spectral decomposition of light pulses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency domain is reached via optical Fourier transformation, which provides a separation ansatz and enables simultaneous up-scaling of peak power and bandwidth, and the first proof-of-concept experiment yielding 1.4 mJ, two cycle pulses at 1.8-μm wavelength is complemented by a high gain (>2000) setup at 800-nm wavelength with 2.5 kHz repetition rate.

TL;DR: Broadband optical parametric amplification in the IR region has reached a new milestone through the use of a non-collinear Frequency domain Optical Parametric Amplification system, which paves the way for high flux soft X-ray pulses and IR-driven laser wakefield acceleration.

High gain Frequency domain Optical Parametric Amplification
TL;DR: Optical parametric amplification (OPA) in the frequency domain rather than in time domain circumvents phase mismatch and damage threshold limitations as mentioned in this paper, enabling amplification of few-cycle pulses, and nJ to microJ in a single stage.

Time impulse response and time frequency response of optical pupils.:Experimental confirmations and applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the time response function of an optical system, that is the result given by any pupil receiving a very short impulse of light, which can be used to generalize the explanation of the channelled spectra and bring an argument to the parallelism between space and time domains.
