Reconstructing multi-spectral wavefronts from measured speckle patterns
The highest possible spatio-temporal quality of a focused ultrashort laser pulses is a key factor in experiments relying on highest […]
Hydrogen improves the performance of a laser-plasma accelerator at kHz
Laser-plasma acceleration is an alternative method of accelerating electrons to relativistic speeds. A powerful laser pulse is focused in a […]
Evidence of the Quantum-Optical Nature of High-Harmonic Generation
High-harmonic generation (HHG) is a process in which a strong laser field converts light to higher frequencies, creating ultrashort attosecond […]
