Photonik II
Summary
ultraintense, ultrashort laser pulses. Nonlinear light-matter interactions at high intensities: generation of coherent soft-x-rays and attosecond x-ray pulses. High-speed „photography” in the microcosm: capturing the motion of electrons and atoms with femto- and attosecond pulses. Relativistic light-electron interactions: electron acceleration with lasers, high-energy electron and photon pulses. X-ray free electron lasers. Laser-induced breakdown in dielectrics: micro- and nanomachining with lasers, nanophotonics. Pushing the limits of electronics: the THz laser oscilloscope. Medical and biological applications: laser neuro-, eye and dental surgery, optical coherence tomography, single molecule imaging. Here you can download the lecture, both as individual chapters and as a complete PDF.
