Ultrafast Laser Physics 1: Basics of ultrashort pulses (141421-WS 23/24)

GOALS:

Be­co­me fa­mi­li­ar with the de­scrip­ti­on and me­a­su­re­ments of ul­tras­hort pul­ses in the time and fre­quen­cy do­main. Learn how ul­tras­hort pul­ses are af­fec­ted by pro­pa­ga­ti­on through li­ne­ar and non­line­ar media.

CON­TENT:

Pulse de­scrip­ti­on, li­ne­ar and non­line­ar pro­pa­ga­ti­on (dis­per­si­on, self-pha­se mo­du­la­ti­on, self-fo­cu­sing, etc.), so­li­ton pro­pa­ga­ti­on, car­ri­er-en­ve­lo­pe phase, me­a­su­re­ment tech­ni­ques
