Pulse-shaping is a powerful optical technique whereby the Fourier-domain of a pulse or sequence of pulses is manipulated in order to alter the temporal (or spectral) properties of a laser pulse. The course shall provide overview of the principles of pulse shaping, functionality, and applications in the field.
Pulse shaping can be used in
• Material processing
It has been shown that a thermal ablation in micromachining can be significantly improved by application of double pulses, where the temporal spacing and amplitude ratios of the two pulses can be optimized to significantly improve the ablation quality for Steel, Cu and Al
• Microscopy
Multi-photon optical microscopy in Biology and medicine requires ultra-short laser pulses which become increasingly susceptible to material dispersion in the objects. Pulse shaping can compensate for this.
• Quantum Mechanical Systems
Photo-induced transitions between energy levels can be optimized if the spectral phase and the amplitude is carefully tailored.
• Telecommunications
Fast signal pulses in all-optical signal processing applications require a greater deal of attention in regards to material dispersion.
The course is recommended for researcher and designers in the field of optical source development and product engineering for applications that require short pulse lasers. The course will be held in English language.
