Extreme intensity contrast is considered essential for ultraintense, femtosecond laser excitation of solid targets, in particular for studies with structured or ultra-thin targets. Second-harmonic generation has been used to maximize the…
Multiphoton microscopes employ femtosecond lasers as light sources because the high peak power of the ultrashort pulse allows for multiphoton excitation of fluorescence in the examined sample. However, such short pulses are susceptible to…

Synchronised laser oscillators are essential for probing the fastest processes in chemistry, materials science, and biology down to atto-second timescales. Tight synchronisation is also crucial at scientific facilities such as free-electron…
Ultrafast laser pulses that are both tunable in wavelength and very short in duration are essential tools in fields ranging from biomedical imaging to ultrafast spectroscopy. While resonant dispersive-wave emission in gas-filled hollow-core…

Ultrahigh peak power femtosecond laser pulses create extreme states of matter that are currently being probed with great interest. Plasma optics have been proposed for shaping and amplifying high-power pulses, but they are subject to huge…
