Over the last few years, there has been a convergence between the
fields of ultrafast science, nonlinear optics, optical frequency
metrology, and precision laser spectroscopy. These fields have been
developing largely independently since the birth of the laser,
reaching remarkable levels of performance. On the ultrafast
frontier, pulses of only a few cycles long have been produced,
while in optical spectroscopy, the precision and resolution have
reached one part in Although these two achievements appear to be
completely disconnected, advances in nonlinear optics provided the
essential link between them. The resulting convergence has enabled
unprecedented advances in the control of the electric field of the
pulses produced by femtosecond mode-locked lasers. The
corresponding spectrum consists of a comb of sharp spectral lines
with well-defined frequencies. These new techniques and
capabilities are generally known as "femtosecond comb technology. "
They have had dramatic impact on the diverse fields of precision
measurement and extreme nonlinear optical physics. The historical
background for these developments is provided in the Foreword by
two of the pioneers of laser spectroscopy, John Hall and Theodor
Hansch. Indeed the developments described in this book were
foreshadowed by Hansch's early work in the 1970s when he used
picosecond pulses to demonstrate the connection between the time
and frequency domains in laser spectroscopy. This work complemented
the advances in precision laser stabilization developed by Hall."
