Ultrafast Phenomena VII

Charles B. Harris, Erich P. Ippen, Gerard A. Mourou, Ahmed H. Zeweil

Recent improvements in the performance of light sources, i.e. reduction in pulse length and increases in wavelength range and power levels, have led to ultrafast technology becoming a basic tool in a wide variety of scientific fields. This book describes the remarkable technological improvements and results of new applications in the natural sciences and various engineering fields.
