    Virtually lossless self-compression of 10-mJ 3.9-um sub-100 fs pulses in bulk YAG resulting in 9-mJ 33-fs pulses is reported. Generated peak power exceeds 250 GW which is suitable for filamentation in ambient air

    Nichtlineare Frequenzumsetzung der niederenergetischen femtosekunden Laserpulsen wurde in den Festkörpermitteln nachgeforscht. Ramanumwandlung im weiss-Licht-freien Regime des impulsiven stimulierten Raman Streuungs wurde erzielt, indem man KGW-Kristall mit den Bessel-Lichtstrahl pumpte. Leistungs-fähiges Superkontinuumerzeugung wurde für die sub-microjule Pulse demonstriert, die in Mikrostrukturfaser fokussiert wurden. Anwendung von Vier-Wellen-Mischung Techniken zur Überwachung der Aufregenzustandsdynamik in den mehratomigen Molekülen wurde demonstriert. Zeitkonstanten der Prozesse, die auf Schwingungsenergiewiederverteilung nach dem ursprunglichen Photoanregung von Stilben-3 bezogen wurden, wurden mittels der Pump-CARS Technik festgestellt, in der CARS-Prozess als wirkungsvoller Modus-vorgewählter Filter diente. Spektrale sowie zeitliche Eigenschaften der elektronischen Entspannungbahnen in den Azulenderivats wurden erforscht, indem man vergänglichen-Bevölkerungs-Gittern und Pump-Probe vergänglichen Absorptions Techniken verwendete.Nonlinear frequency conversion of low-energy fs laser pulses was investigated in solid-state media. Raman conversion in the white-light-free regime of impulsive stimulated Raman scattering was achieved by pumping KGW crystal with Bessel beam. Efficient supercontinuum generation was demonstrated for sub-microjule pulses focused into microstructure fiber. Application of four-wave mixing techniques to monitoring of the excited-state dynamics in polyatomic molecules was demonstrated. Time constants of the processes related to vibrational energy redistribution upon the initial photoexcitation of stilbene-3 were determined by means of pump-CARS technique, where CARS process served as an effective mode-selective filter. Spectral as well as temporal properties of electronic relaxation pathway in azulene derivatives were explored by using transient population gratings and pump-probe transient absorption techniques

    Direct mid-infrared femtosecond pulse shaping with a calomel acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter

    Direct amplitude and phase shaping of mid-infrared femtosecond pulses is realized with a calomel-based acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter transparent between 0.4 and 20\u3bcm. The shaped pulse electric field is fully characterized with high accuracy, using chirped-pulse upconversion and time-encoded arrangement spectral phase interferometry for direct electric field reconstruction techniques. Complex mid-infrared pulse shapes at a center wavelength of 4.9\u3bcm are generated with a spectral resolution of 14cm 121, which exceeds by a factor of 5 the reported experimental resolutions of calomel-based filters.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: N
