Since discovering wave-particle duality, science has changed our perception of light and matter, especially at the subatomic level. Thanks to such discoveries, we have been able to develop and expand ...
Sánchez Peacham, Daniel Alexander (Date of defense: 2020-01-27)
The continuous development of laser sources delivering ultra-short light pulses underpins much of the current progress in experimental science, particularly in the domain of physics concerned with ...
Cousin, Seth Lucien (Date of defense: 2016-09-12)
Attosecond science investigates the realm of processes that happen in fleetingly short passages of time. One attosecond to one second, is what one second is to the age of the universe! Advances in lasers ...
Di Palo, Nicola (Date of defense: 2020-03-26)
Understanding most of the physical and chemical phenomena determining the world around us requires the possibility to interrogate their main characters on their natural scale in space and time. The ...
Buades, Bárbara (Date of defense: 2018-07-31)
Attoscience aims to study electron dynamics in matter with unprecedented temporal resolution by using the shortest pulses generated on Earth. Currently, such resolution is only provided by sources that ...
Wolter, Benjamin (Date of defense: 2018-02-26)
One of the grand challenges of modern science is to image chemical reactions and biological functions while they are taking place. To realize these molecular movie, experimental techniques need to resolve ...
Liu, Xinyao (Date of defense: 2022-07-27)
One of the significant challenges of modern science is to track and image chemical reactions as they occur. The molecular movies, the precise spatiotemporal tracking of changes in their molecular dynamics, ...
Elu Etxano, Ugaitz (Date of defense: 2022-05-03)
In the last decades, intense carrier-envelope-phase-stable (CEP-stable) and near-single-cycle, coherent mid-infrared sources have become charming for a variety of applications in physics, chemistry and ...
Baudisch, Matthias (Date of defense: 2017-07-12)
High-energy, few-cycle, mid-lR radiation sources featuring high pulse repetition rates are of tremendous interest for a variety of strong-field physics and attoscience applications. Such systems could ...
Grün, Alexander (Date of defense: 2014-11-07)
In this thesis I investigate two methods for generating ultrashort laser pulses in spectral regions which are ordinarily difficult to achieve by the existing techniques. These pulses are specially ...
