The third international conference devoted to picosecond phenomena
was held June 16-18, 1982 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, West Germany.
Scientists from widely varying disciplines, physicists, chemists,
biologists, and engineers came together to share their common
interest in picosecond and subpicosecond processes. The meeting
attracted approximately 250 scientists from numerous countries
around the globe. More than .100 papers were concerned with the
latest advances in the ex- perimental and theoretical understanding
of ultrafast phenomena. New dis- coveries in femtosecond and
picosecond pulse generation and new results in chemical dynamics,
solid-state physics, and nonlinear optics were presented. The
quality of the scientific reports, the enthusiasm of the
participating scientists, as well as the magnificent surroundings
of the Bavarian alps guaranteed a successful and pleasant
conference. Numerous people have helped to make the conference a
success. Special thanks are due to Carin von Oberkamp for dOing a
superb job in implementing the meeting arrangements and to the
program committee for the selection and organisation of the
scientific presentations. The financial support of the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft and of the Bayerische Staatsministerium fUr
Unterricht und Kultur is gratefully ack- nowledged.
For more than two decades time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy
(TRVS) was only part of general conferences on solid-state physics,
molecular spec- troscopy, photochemistry and photobiology. It was
in 1982 when the first meeting on TRVS was organized at Lake
Placid. The conference met a strong need among the workers in the
field, and it was decided to continue with spe- cial conferences on
this topic. The 2nd International Conference on Time-Resolved
Vibrational Spec- troscopy was held June 3-i, 1985 at
Bayreuth-Bischofsgrun, Germany. Sci- entists from many disciplines
came together to discuss their common interest in time-resolved
techniques and spectroscopic applications. The high qual- ity of
the research presented, the enthusiasm of the participants, and the
attractive surroundings combined to an enjoyable atmosphere. Ample
time for discussions and the limited number of participants
(approximately 100) stimulated the formal and informal exchange of
ideas. "\'umerous people helped to make the conference run
smoothly. Special thanks are due to Mrs. Lenich for making the
technical arrangements, and to the program committee for the
selection of the scientific presentations. The meeting has
benefited from several financial souces. The generous sup- port by
the Emil-Warburg-Stiftung was particularly helpful. Financial aid
of the "Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft" and of the "Bayerisches
Staatsmini- sterium fur U nterricht und K ultus" is also gratefully
acknowledged.
This second edition in paperback provides an up-to-date review of
the state of the art in different generation processes for
ultrashort laser pulses. Inaddition, extensive applications in a
wide range of fields - in physics,engineering, chemistry, and
biology - are discussed: Eight chapters dealwith the following
topics: -the generation of picosecond and femtosecond laser pulses
-nonlinear wave interactions - new investigations in solid-state
physics - recent progress in optoelectronics - advances in coherent
material excitations - ultrafast vibrational lifetimes and energy
redistribution in liquids - new observations of chemical reactions
in the liquid state - the primary processes of important biological
systems The book is essential reading for scientists and engineers
who want to know what is going on in this rapidly advancing field.
It should also interest graduate students and others who seek an
introduction to laserpulses.
The three volumes VIII/1A, B, C document the state of the art of
"Laser Physics and Applications." Scientific trends and related
technological aspects are considered by compiling results and
conclusions from phenomenology, observation and experience.
Reliable data, physical fundamentals and detailed references are
presented. In the recent decades the laser beam source matured to a
universal tool common to scientific research as well as to
industrial use. Today a technical goal is the generation of optical
power towards shorter wavelengths, shorter pulses and higher power
for application in science and industry. Tailoring the optical
energy in wavelength, space and time is a requirement for the
investigation of laser-induced processes, i.e. excitation,
non-linear amplification, storage of optical energy, etc. According
to the actual trends in laser research and development, Vol. VIII/1
is split into three parts: Vol. VIII/1A with its two subvolumes 1A1
and 1A2 covers laser fundamentals, Vol. VIII/1B deals with laser
systems and Vol. VIII/1C gives an overview on laser applications.
