Femtosecond Photonics: Fundamental Phenomena and Advanced Devices

Abstract

Ultrashort pulse laser technology is an active field of research that has had a powerful impact in many areas of science. Applications of ultrafast technology range from biomedical optical imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), to high-speed communications, investigation of ultrafast nonlinear process in semiconductor materials and devices, optical frequency metrology, the design of optical clocks, and micro-machining.
