Project description
Innovative technology for single-shot characterisation of ultrashort laser pulses
Capturing the motion of electrons relies on the availability of ultra-short light waves containing just a few cycles of a light oscillation. Nowadays, such pulses are delivered by state-of-the-art ultrafast laser systems. Key to attaining the high temporal resolution is not only the duration, but also the knowledge of the exact temporal shape of these laser pulses. The FIELDTECH project aims to develop a compact and user-friendly pulse diagnostics device, which represents a robust and cost-effective alternative to current techniques based on complex and expensive vacuum technology. Beyond the precise single-shot characterisation of laser pulses, the technology developed in this project represents an important step towards next generation ultrafast petahertz electronics.
