Introduction to Ultrashort Pulse Lasers and Amplifiers, Wavelength Conversion, and Time-Resolved Experiments Ultrafast physics could not exist without the help of very advanced modern laser technology.
Different experiments require different wavelengths ranging from the microwave region to X-rays.
Methods for wavelength conversion will be discussed succinctly such as continuum white-light generation, harmonic generation, infrared generation in OPOs, OPAs and OPGs, and terahertz generation. A very preliminary version of the handout for this part of the course can be found here . OPA2.nb Idem, slightly better calcs. Back to Root-page.
