| Title: Sub-Cycle Coherent Optical Waveforms | |
| Abstract: Waveform Nonlinear Optics aims to study and control the nonlinear interactions of matter with custom-tailored sub- optical-cycle waveforms. In this regime, the time-evolution of the optical electric field deviates strongly from a sinusoidal carrier-wave oscillation with in a single cycle of light, so that the usual approximations of nonlinear optics break down, and new phenomena and opportunities arise. In this work, we present a prototype parametric synthesizer architecture to overcome pulse-energy and average-power bottlenecks. These intense optical waveforms custom-sculpted within an optical cycle are expected to open up new horizons for controlling strong-field interactions in atoms, molecules and solids. | |
