Laser Design Brings Attosecond Spectroscopy Closer

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MUNICH, May 7, 2015 — A new laser design could enable high-energy attosecond mid-wave IR and vacuum UV spectroscopy systems and faster optoelectronics. The device is a diode-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:YAG thin-disk laser combined with extracavity pulse compression. It was developed at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics, which is run jointly by Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. The Yb:YAG disk laser emits pulses lasting 7.7 fs, which corresponds to 2.2 wave periods. The average pulse power is 6 W, and each pulse carries 0.15 μJ of...Read full article

    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
