Abstract

The current understanding of ultrafast nonlinear optical techniques relates closely to the generation, characterization and application of light (usually laser) pulses having durations in the picosecond (10−12 s) or femtosecond (10−15 s) regimes. Although in many instances these ultrashort pulses may have relatively small energies (∼ 1 nJ) their peak optical powers can be quite high (≳ 1 kW). When tightly focused beams or confined guided-wave geometries are used the available power densities are thus rendered adequate for nonlinear optical processes to be directly exploited and implemented. Where necessary, laser amplifier schemes can be employed such that optical gains of 104–105 are readily achieved. The nonlinear processes induced at the high peak power levels are relevant to various aspects of pulse generation, manipulation, characterization and to time-domain spectroscopic studies.
