Description
• Fundamental properties of short light pulses (spectral coherence,
high intensities)
• Mathematical description of short laser pulses and basic pulse
distortion/shaping effects (dispersion, chirps)
• Generation and measurement of short pulses
• Nonlinear-optical light conversion to other spectral (e.g. XUV) and
temporal (e.g. attosecond) ranges
• Some selected experimental applications
