Controlled interaction of laser light with electron beams is fundamental for ultrafast electron microscopy and electron-based quantum optics, yet their direct coupling is forbidden in free space. Here we use longitudinally polarized light…
Existing light field representations, such as epipolar plane image (EPI) and sub-aperture images, do not consider the structural characteristics across the views, so they usually require additional disparity and spatial structure cues for…
Chirality is ubiquitous in nature and of fundamental importance in science. The present work focuses on understanding the conditions required to modify the chirality during ultrafast electronic motion by bringing enantiomers…
A new numerically and experimentally tested measurement method for the local electrical light field including its phase is presented. The method is based on Self Referencing Interferograms (SRI) such as shearing interferograms. The complex…
We propose a novel optical flow based approach to enhance the axial resolution of anisotropic 3D EM volumes to achieve isotropic 3D reconstruction. Assuming spatial continuity of 3D biological structures in well aligned EM volumes, we…
The measurement of vacuum polarisation effects, in particular vacuum birefringence, using combined optical and x-ray laser pulses is now actively pursued. Here we briefly examine the feasibility of two alternative setups. The first utilises…
Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) observations of magnetic nanoparticles contain information on the magnetic and electrostatic potentials. Vector Field Electron Tomography (VFET) can be used to reconstruct electromagnetic…
Structured light has gained significant attention in recent years, especially in the generation and application of vector beams. These beams, characterized by a spatially varying polarization state, are a powerful tool to enhance our…
The ability to resolve the dynamics of matter on its native temporal and spatial scales constitutes a key challenge and convergent theme across chemistry, biology, and materials science. The last couple of decades have witnessed ultrafast…
Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES) with high efficiency and resolution plays a crucial role in exploring the fine spin-resolved band structures of quantum materials. Here we report the performance of SARPES…
The ultrafast photoinduced insulator-metal transition in VO2 is studied at different temperatures and excitation fluences using multi-THz probe pulses. The spectrally resolved mid-infrared response allows us to trace separately the dynamics…
We present a scheme for active compensation of complex extrinsic polarization perturbations introduced into an optical system. Imaging polarimeter is used to measure the polarization state across a beam profile and a liquid crystal spatial…
Photonic realizations of neural network computing hardware are a promising approach to enable future scalability of neuromorphic computing. In this review we provide an overview on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and how…

This paper describes the demonstration of linearly polarized picosecond pulse shaping with variable profiles including symmetric and non-symmetric intensity distributions. Important characteristics such as stability and transmission were…
We present designs for variably polarizing beam splitters. These are beam splitters allowing the complete and independent control of the horizontal and vertical polarization splitting ratios. They have quantum optics and quantum information…
Ultrafast extreme ultraviolet (XUV) sources with a controllable polarization state are powerful tools for investigating the structural and electronic as well as the magnetic properties of materials. However, such light sources are still…
Coherent control over photoelectron wavepackets, via the use of polarization-shaped laser pulses, can be understood as a time and polarization-multiplexed process. In this work, we investigate this multiplexing via computation of the…
Chirped-pulse interferometry (CPI) is a classical low-coherence interferometry technique with automatic dispersion cancellation and improved resolution over white-light interference. Previous work has shown that CPI with linearly-chirped…
Temporal pulse characterization methods can often not be applied to UV pulses due to the lack of suitable nonlinear crystals and very low pulse energies. Here, a method is introduced for the characterization of two unknown and independent…
