A continuous-wave laser source at 148.4 nm based on second-harmonic generation in randomly quasi-phase matched strontium tetraborate, SrB4O7, is demonstrated. It provides (1.3-0.6+0.7) nW of VUV power in a single pass for an incident UV…
Generation of high-fidelity amplified pulse bursts with a regular interpulse interval yields, in the spectral domain, an equidistant pattern of narrowband spectral modes, similar to frequency combs produced by cw mode-locked lasers, but…

We report on an in-band pumped soft-aperture Kerr-lens mode-locked Ho:CALGO bulk laser at 2.1 um, generating 2 W of average power with 112 fs pulses at 91-MHz repetition rate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest average power…
The radiation pressure acceleration regime of laser ion acceleration requires high intensity laser pulses to function efficiently. Moreover the foil should be opaque for incident radiation during the interaction to ensure maximum momentum…
We demonstrate a novel, direct method for measuring the phase velocity $v_{\phi}$ of an intense laser pulse within a plasma channel - the crucial parameter that controls the resonance condition in direct laser acceleration (DLA). The…
