Over the past few years, there was a convergence among the fields of ultrafast technological know-how, nonlinear optics, optical frequency metrology, and precision laser spectroscopy. those fields were constructing principally independently because the start of the laser, attaining notable degrees of functionality. at the ultrafast frontier, pulses of just a couple of cycles lengthy were produced, whereas in optical spectroscopy, the precision and backbone have reached one half in even if those achievements seem to be thoroughly disconnected, advances in nonlinear optics supplied the fundamental hyperlink among them. The ensuing convergence has enabled exceptional advances within the keep an eye on of the electrical box of the pulses produced by means of femtosecond mode-locked lasers. The corresponding spectrum contains a comb of sharp spectral strains with well-defined frequencies. those new thoughts and functions are commonly known as “femtosecond comb expertise. ” they've got had dramatic influence at the various fields of precision size and severe nonlinear optical physics. The ancient historical past for those advancements is supplied within the Foreword by way of of the pioneers of laser spectroscopy, John corridor and Theodor Hänsch. certainly the advancements defined during this ebook have been foreshadowed via Hänsch’s early paintings within the Nineteen Seventies while he used picosecond pulses to illustrate the relationship among the time and frequency domain names in laser spectroscopy. This paintings complemented the advances in precision laser stabilization built by way of corridor.
