Ultrafast Visible and Ultraviolet Pulses
The Ultrafast UV-Vis Sources group leads the development of ultrafast secondary sources in the UV-visible spectral range. This includes support of the implementation of these sources in experiments and coordination with other science departments, AMOS and Chemical Sciences in particular, to understand and respond to future needs, with a goal of fully exploiting UV and visible laser sources in LCLS experiments.
The following are highlights of the scope covered by the Ultrafast UV-Vis Sources group:
- conventional crystal based harmonic generation, OPA + mixing techniques
- spectral broadening & pulse compression
- novel approaches to UV-vis generation for high average power application
