Abstract:

These lectures provide an introduction to the techniques and measurements of ultrashort laser pulses. We begin with a review of the electrical and optical properties of solids and of the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a medium. We then discuss methods for the temporal and spectral characterization of ultrashort laser pulses. Finally we discuss the effects of dispersion and filtering on the temporal and spectral resolution of measurements with ultrashort laser pulses.
