Title: Sub-cycle high-harmonics from terahertz-driven crystal electrons
Abstract: Utilizing the carrier wave of intense, phase-locked light pulses to control electron motion in atoms and molecules has opened up spectacular new routes in ultrafast photonics such as high-harmonic generation (HHG) and

Title: Ultrafast Thin-Disk Lasers
Abstract: Since its first demonstration in 1994, thin-disk lasers have been one of the most promising concepts for scaling sub-picosecond pulses to highest peak and average powers. TRUMPF Scientific Lasers uses the industrial thin-disk laser technology for developing ultrafast

Title: High-Energy Sub-Cycle Parametric Waveform Synthesis
Abstract: A first incarnation of a 3-channel, multi-mJ, sub-cycle, parametric waveform synthesizer driven by a Ti:sapphire CPA will be presented. This system can be regarded as a prototype parametric synthesizer architecture, that
